We have a little alcove near the entrance of our house where we’ve hung a “Century Family Farm” plaque that my family got in 1983 and which my parents gave to me as a housewarming gift after having it framed in barn board. At Christmas, I decided to fill the space underneath with some decorations […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Montreal Picnic (June 2006)
One great thing about our year in Ontario for library school was we tried to get away as much as we could on weekends and during semester breaks to various destinations in the area. Probably our biggest trip was during a semester break when we took the train to Montreal. A highlight was throwing together […]
Our Second Trip to Mexico During Covid?
I said yesterday’s visit to Mexico would be our only one but we enjoyed it so much, we decided to go again to celebrate Valentine’s Day! 😉 (We’re not the only ones missing beach vacations apparently but this is pretty extreme!)
Saturday Snap – Our Only Visit To Mexico During Covid…
Buy a six pack of Sol at the liquor store, some limes at the grocery store, and put beach videos on the TV. 🙁 (But hey, at least we’re being safer than overly entitled snowbirds!)
Throwback Thursday – #tbt – 360 Front Flip With A Twist (January 2017)
In hindsight, letting a 10-year old parkour addict jump off the snow-covered garage into a big pile of snow was probably not the wisest decision of my parenting career (and isn’t that usually the stuff you do when your parents aren’t watching anyhow?)
Music Monday – “Hey little sister/Who’s your superman/Hey little sister/Who’s the one you want?”
I know it’s not 2020 anymore but the most “2020” thing of 2021 (so far) is that it’s a pre-Super Bowl performance by Miley Cyrus and Billy Idol that feels like the first real, tangible proof I’ve seen in nearly a year that we might get back to “normal” once vaccinations are widespread. Someone who […]
Secular Sunday – NOD vs. SOD in Regina (A Different Kind of Religion?)
Religion takes many forms and one of the strangest is the tribalism that often happens, even within the *same* community. This CBC article looks at the historic divisions between those who are North of Dewdney (NOD) and those who are in the south part of Regina. These divisions aren’t unique – every city I’ve lived […]
Saturday Snap – How To Simulate a Tropical Holiday in Covid Times
Normally, Saturday Snap is a pic I’ve taken but I came across this on social media and decided to post it… We’ve been fortunate to do a winter holiday for the past few years so now that we’re into February, it’s starting to hit me that this won’t be happening this year (doesn’t help that […]
Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Stuck in Snow (January 2010)
We’ve had a lot of snow this year and one big advantage of our new house is having an attached garage so we don’t have to shovel/scrape/dig out like at our old house (which had a detached garage but which we rarely used since it was: a) full of junk b) behind the house and […]
Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Boxing Day Classic (Multiple Years)
When I was in high school and later, in university, the neighbours across the street hosted a Boxing Day road hockey tournament every year. This was followed by an airing of the latest Don Cherry “Rock ‘Em Sock ‘Em” VHS tape that one of their two boys got from Christmas, finger foods, basement beers and […]
