The last time the Riders were in the Grey Cup in 2013, I’m pretty sure that us dressing like this helped them win so we may have to do it again this weekend! 😉

Throwback Thursday – “A Man Without Land Is Nothing” – Duddy Kravitz (August 2022)

I’ve been heavily involved in a variety of major changes for those I love most in the past three years – my mom is now in a care home because of her dementia, my dad has finished the sale of the last quarter of land from the farm that’s been in our family since 1883 […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Oscar Is Here! (May 2007)

Instead of just posting a random picture from the past, I thought I’d try something new and post a link to a long ago article to take advantage of the fact that I have kept this blog going for nearly twenty years (!) which means its going to qualify for a pension soon! And what […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – ‘Bout Time They Made A Minecraft Movie (Dec 2015)

Pace and I (okay, mostly Pace) have been waiting for years!  At least the wait means Sasha will be able to come too.
