Still Alive (But Still Taking A Blog Holiday)

We were camping for most of July in a place where Internet signal is pretty crappy (two bars max at all times and basically unusable on weekends when the park is full) plus life has been busy with a variety of things: * Buying a new vehicle/selling our old van * Inlaws downsizing their home […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Become a Mini-Man With A Mini-Van (June 2014)

I always joked that as uncool as their reputation is, mini-vans are some of the best vehicles I’ve ever owned – you can load them up like a truck (we literally hauled a fridge to our campsite in the van), the sliding doors are a lot safer in garages and parking lots (especially with kids […]

Back From Camping…

…and lots of amazing moments and memories: * Great visit with Shea’s cousin and family who are back from New Zealand for a month * About ten books on my “To Read During Camping” list. (One book, not even on my list, is all I get read – thought I do work through a 377 […]

Music Monday – “So many years, so many hardships/So many laughs, so many tears/So many things he cannot remember/’Cause they had 50 years He walks down to the ocean Bends to touch kneels to pray/He writes her name in the sand/Waves wash it away”

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – It’s My Fault (February 2022)

I’m not superstitious but…I may have fucking jinxed the Flames and boosted the Oilers when I jokingly whipped a Flames toque out of my pocket and put it on in front of the Oilers symbol when we were at Rogers Place in Edmonton in February 2022. I’m sorry hockey gods. Please accept my humble apologies […]

Saturday Snap – Farewell to Aunt Sandi

My mom’s sister has returned to Regina from Kelowna to stay with us for a month every spring pretty much every year since Pace was born. But since mom was diagnosed with dementia, these visits have become a lot more meaningful.
