Happy Birthday Grandpa!

Have a great day!!!

Music Monday – “I’ve got that whiskey in the eye, my love/You know I’m not afraid to fight/Cause word’s been gettin’ round this town/and I can’t wait another night”

Soon after the Humboldt Broncos accident happened on Friday, I was sure I’d be posting Tom Cochrane’s “Big League” as my Music Monday post this week. But I’ve linked to that song a couple times already – I decided to post it right away on the night of the accident and again yesterday in a […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Farewell Lang’s (and a Funny Sriracha Story) #yqr

Very sad to hear that Lang’s Vietnamese restaurant burned down in an early morning fire yesterday. Along with Bushwakkers and Copper Kettle, Lang’s was one of my three “go to” Regina locations that weren’t just restaurants but local institutions. Way back in 2007, I wrote this about Lang’s in a post about my 10 favourite Regina restaurants: […]

My Moon Palace Cancun Review #ThePalaceLife @palaceresorts #allinclusive #holiday

Hard to believe we’ve been home for Cancun three weeks as of today!

Here you go… A Note on TripAdvisor TripAdvisor […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Montreal Poutine (April 2006)

During my time at library school, we did as much traveling around Ontario and other destinations in the area including one memorable train trip to Montreal.

Music Monday – “I like girls that Wear Abercrombie and Fitch/I’d take her if I had one wish/But she’s been gone/Since that summer”

Not sure what the statute of limitations is on me posting songs from my “Tropical Vacation Tunes” playlist after our holiday is over.  But I’m going to keep doing it for the time being (and since there’s more than 52 songs on that playlist, who knows – maybe I’ll post one a week until our […]

10 (More) Things I Want in an All-Inclusive

That list, in no particular order, included the following: Multiple/big pools Decent, non-repetitive food Beautiful beach Unique bars Kids Club Oceanview Room A la carte restaurants Wifi Nearby city/attractions […]

10 “Musts” When Visiting @MoonPalaceCancun #ThePalaceLife

Shea and I learned a lot from a private Facebook Group dedicated to the resort we just visited and in one of my posts from the resort right before our holiday ended, I mentioned that I’d likely post a review on my blog and/or that group and/or TripAdvisor after we got home. I still haven’t […]
