I keep looking at old pictures and thinking about how much has changed due to Covid. Here’s another example: – more than 30 people gathered – dancing – singing – drinking – communal meal – close together – no masks On and on…

Friday Fun Link – What Life Is Like In Countries Without Pandemics
For various reasons ranging from geographic isolation to stronger health measures to more compliant populations, there are actually countries in the world where life continues almost as if there isn’t a worldwide pandemic still affecting the majority of the planet. People are going to restaurants, attending concerts & sporting events, having family gatherings and much […]
Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Where The Buffalo Roam (April 2007)
Earlier this summer, we heard that Shea’s cousin’s herd of bison had gotten out and were in a nearby farmer’s field. We knew that previously when only one animal had gotten out, her uncle had been able to guide him back into the pasture using a front-end loader tractor he used to feed them which […]
Friday Fun Link – What Are All-Inclusives Like with Covid Protocols
Obviously Mexico and hot holidays are on my mind lately – yesterday, I posted about how a picture of the Isla Mujeres ferry evoked some thoughts about how much life has changed in the past year and then I found myself seeking out videos of those brave (foolish?) souls who are still venturing south for […]
Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Isla Mujeres Ferry (And A Selection of Things I Miss In Covid Times) (March 2018)
This was taken on the ferry to Isla Mujeres during a trip to Cancun in March 2018. Amazing how much a single photo can capture how much our world has changed… 1. International Travel 2. Being in a Crowd 3. No one wearing masks 4. Somebody singing in front of people 5. Sightseeing Excursions

Even though she’s figured out that the elf doesn’t move on its own (I […]
Music Monday – “I ain’t taking you home, I found a little place that’ll do/It’ll never match the beauty of a Tennessee spring/But it’s something new”
One of my favourite things about listening to music is hearing a song that catches you just right and you like it so much, you end up playing it repeatedly. That was me with this song this past weekend… “One More Night in Brooklyn” – Justin Townes Earle
Sask Library Association Recommendation Letter (June 2001)
Going through some old papers, I came across this recommendation letter from the Sask Library Association Executive Director. If this letter didn’t make it clear, I’ve always felt a strong connection to libraries, loved getting to work for the province’s library association and, only five short years later, I’d be off to library school to […]
One Crazy Unintended Consequence of Covid?
It’s never happened before but Shea and I are almost completely ready for Christmas and it’s not even December 1 yet! We put the tree up right after Remembrance Day after making the mistake of saying/spelling “When do you want to put up the T-R-E-E?” in front of a little grade two kid who we […]
