Music Monday – “Well I don’t mind wastin’ my time/On this crazy afternoon/I got sunshine and red wine/A friend of mine takin’ it easy”

For the upcoming summer, we weren’t sure whether we’d end up camping at a provincial park like we did last year or if we’d switch to a regional park.

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – SLA Conference Bonfire (May 2017) #CFLAFCAB2018

I guess it depends on how tonight’s parties go but I doubt there will be any SLA bonfires since the venue this year is Regina instead of Waskesiu. 😉

25 Random Thoughts For @SaskBookAwards 25th Anniversary #sba25 #saskbookawards

Tonight was the 25th anniversary of the Saskatchewan Book Awards so, as someone who first attended in 1997, has been at probably 15-20 of those ceremonies and has also served SBA in a variety of capacities from board member to gala volunteer to web site designer to A/V switcher, I thought it’d be fun to […]
