Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Kelowna Boardwalk (July 2009)

Saturday Snap – Beautiful Cinco De Mayo Supper by @tropemxfood Hosted By @prairiecherry Over the Hill Orchard

Shea saw on social media that their was a cancellation for the first of the weekly “Supper in the Orchard” events at Over The Hill Orchards just outside Regina so snatched it up. We’ve been out to Over The Hill Orchards once before for a Mother’s Day Brunch event but their restaurant area has undergone […]

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

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – And Sometimes We Wear Gloves (June 2012)

I sometimes joke “And sometimes people ever borrow books!” when I think about all the things we have to do as librarians that have nothing to do with people taking out books and then returning the books so that others may enjoy them next. I’m not even going to discuss why someone would have to […]

Music Monday – “There are things that make me dad/You seem to be all of them.”

I used this song for a montage when Pace turned six but really think of it as “Sasha’s song” since it was the first song I sang to her in the delivery room after she was born. Pace’s first song was more planned – I knew I wanted to play him John Lennon’s “Beautiful Boy” […]
