Ever since we bought our camper a few years ago along with our good fortune to be able to go on winter holidays for a few years running, I’ve begun to feel that my life basically oscillates between those two annual highlights. We get off the plane in late February/early March, tanned and rested and […]

Saturday Snap – Our Summer Family
When we were at Echo a few years back, we met, befriended and hung out with (and got hungover with!) a few other young couples. (I know “young” is relative for me these days but Shea’s a lot younger than me so I follow her lead on that!) When we got our seasonal site at […]
Friday Fun Link – Top 20 Electric Guitar Riffs of All-Time
A bit heavy on the classic rock stuff but still a pretty decent list…
Throwback Thursday – #tbt – When My Football Jacket Still Fit (October 2011)
This photo was taken while going through some old clothes at my parent’s house in October 2011 (which happened to be a point in life where a football jacket I bought a two decades earlier sometime around 1991 still fit – something that’s definitely no longer the case!)

One hundred and ten seems like a bit of an unusual anniversary to commemorate but anyhow, the Leader Post does have a great article about RPL and how it’s changed over the years.
Saturday Snap – Otter ‘n’ Daughter
One of many highlights of the Calgary Zoo was watching Sasha interact with one particularly playful otter in the “Canadian Wild” area.
Throwback Thursday – Elvis Has (Not) Left The Building (May 2011)
I think it’s been eight years since we were last in Calgary which happened to be a weekend visit which combined a 50th Wedding Anniversary for a Calgary-based aunt and uncle and a 50th birthday party (featuring an appearance by The King!) for a Calgary cousin. Here’s a picture of my dad with eight of […]
