First Snow of the Year (2020 Edition)

And in perfect 2020 fashion, the first “snow that stays” of the year is a massive blizzard (well, its hit Saskatoon more than Regina so far but we’ll see what we wake up to tomorrow!)  Anyhow, at least it came relatively late compared to other years.

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – 10 Horrifying Things I Saw Watching Family Home Movies From the 1970’s

Throwback Thursday – Beer Coaster Collage (1995 to now)

I went through a phase in college where I collected beer coasters.  I never did anything with them but after rediscovering them in a container when we moved to our new house, I decided to at least mount them on an unused corkboard. (Of course, since we’re in a new house and our tastes are […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – NDP Means A Healthy Society (February 2013) #skpoli #skvotes

This is a very cool poster that Ryan Meili’s team created during his 2013 leadership run. The design may be retro but the message is more timely than ever as Saskatchewan and the entire world try to figure out the best way forward in the midst of a worldwide pandemic. I don’t know about you […]
