Friday Fun Link – Happy Canada Day?

I accidentally ripped this decoration off a kid’s bike during a Bike Parade for Canada Day at Nickle Lake when my father-in-law and I were trying to work around it to help him get his chain back on. But I feel like this photo may be a metaphor for Canada in some ways too…

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – “When I Was Five, I Walked The Fence While Grandpa Held My Hand” (April 2012)

[At this time of year, I don’t know why I even bother trying to keep up my “a post a day” habit since we’re out at the lake every chance we get and since the Internet is crappy out there,  I couldn’t post very easily, even if I wanted to.  Then I get back and […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Stoll-ley Cup? (August 2012)

You never known when the next pandemic will hit so we’ve gotten smart and started buying twice as much toilet paper as we would normally during our Costco runs…just in case!

Saturday Snap – Nicely Broken In…

Even though I grew up in a small town, surrounded by tons of family and friends who were really into cars, I was never obsessed with vehicles myself. I always said “If it’s got four wheels, an engine, and gets me where I need to go, I’m happy.” Well, the car I bought a few […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Undergrad Announcement (May 1996)

With Pace getting his learner’s this week, I’ve got a bit of a “milestone” theme going.  So here’s the newspaper announcement (remember those?) from when I graduated with my BA…

Saturday Snap – Bubble Gum Bay?

Our campground asks for volunteers to look after the various flowerbeds scattered throughout the park each summer. A couple campers created an amazingly creative and colourful “bubblegum” themed design at the entrance to the Dorsch Bay area of the park. I snapped the picture below as I went by and didn’t even realise I’d caught […]
