Hard to believe our first born turns 13 today! His timing is good too – his younger sister was very angry that she had to have a virtual birthday last month but now that covid restrictions are loosening up a bit and we can have “family bubbles”, Pace got not only an in-person instead of […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Making A Mess (September 2009)
Hard to believe this toddler will be a teenager next week. (Still as messy though!) 😉
Coteau Books Auction – May 20, 2020 #yqr #sasked #saskedchat #yxe #sask #sk
This had been a shitty year for me, even before the COVID pandemic hit. Coteau Books, which was a long-standing literary press in Canada for nearly half a century, and which I’d served on the board of directors of for nearly a decade, entered bankruptcy protection in late February.

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Luther College 1991 “Midnight Breakfast” (and Happy 5000th Blog Post To Me!)
First off, it didn’t line up perfectly but earlier this week, I posted my 5000th post on this blog after nearly 14 years of daily posts from February 25, 2006 to April 30, 2020 (and fourteen years ago, I *never* would’ve guessed that my milestone 5000th post would be about my daughter, let alone my […]
