Our annual visit from my Aunt Sandi, who stays with us for a few weeks around Pace’s birthday each year, is over for another year. It was another great visit with lots of laughs, great conversations, delicious meals and we even survived having windows installed in our guest room while Sandi was here. See you next […]

Roseanne’s Plan To Bump Cosby (1989 vs. 2018 Versions)
It’s 1989 all over again with Roseanne Barr stealing headlines from Bill Cosby…
Music Monday – “Pushed around and kicked around/Always a lonely boy/You were the one that they’d talk about around town as they put you down”
I had the day off so decided to pop out to Congress at the U of R. It was a great day going through the Exhibitors’ Hall catching up with some publishers I knew from my days in that world, meeting some new publishers, talking to authors and so on. Since I rarely get out […]
Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Smile? (July 2014)
For a brief period of time, I loved the devil face Sasha would make when you told her to smile! 🙂
Five Great Things About This Year’s Seasonal Campsite
It’s going to be hard to top how well everything – weather, neighbours who had kids around our kids’ ages, view – worked out at our seasonal site last year. But having spent the May long weekend at our seasonal site at Nickle Lake Regional Park, we’re off to a pretty good start! Shea’s Parents […]
Music Monday – “Don’t your feet get cold in the winter time?/The sky won’t snow and the sun won’t shine/It’s hard to tell the night time from the day/You’re losin’ all your highs and lows/Ain’t it funny how the feeling goes away?”
I’ve managed to hit the first two major concerts at the new Mosaic Stadium – the “test case” one with Bryan Adams last May then the first “superstar” one with G ‘n’ R last August. The next big one happened last Thursday as The Eagles were in Regina for the Memorial Cup kick-off but I […]
Throwback Thursday – #tbt – On National Caesar Day, Is This The Best Wedding Ever? (Summer 2017, Somewhere in Ontario)
Like most good Canadians, I enjoy a good caesar. And since it’s National Caesar Day, I’m going to break from Throwback Thursday tradition and instead of posting one of my own pictures of me drinking a caesar or making a caesar or looking lovingly at a caesar on a restaurant table, I wanted to post an awesome […]
Fire Bans in Place for Sask Provincial Parks South of Churchill River
We didn’t get a fire ban until the end of summer last year. But it’s been crazy dry the last couple years so here we go right at the start of the camping season (and yes, the regional park we’re booked into won’t escape without a fire ban either until some rain comes.) 🙁 Thank goodness […]
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. Both have advantages and disadvantages but with Shea’s mom undergoing cancer treatment, it made our decision to go to Nickle Lake Regional Park where her folks have […]
Friday Fun Link – @officialRPL Mother’s Day Video
This RPL Mother’s Day video is great! It makes me excited for RPL Father’s Day video next month where various dads who work for the system try not to get emotional while reading passages from “Fight Club” to our children. 😉 Just kidding – this video is great and I know I can’t get […]
