Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Grandpa Peet in Uniform (circa 1945?)

After missing the last couple years for obvious reasons, an aunt who visits us from Kelowna for a few weeks every spring is here now. One of her hobbies is genealogy and related, she likes to scan and catalogue old photos. She brought a thumb drive with hundreds of old family photos which means I’ll […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Happy 15th Birthday Pace!

Hard to believe this video montage I made of pics from when Pace was born is from fifteen years ago! (Also hard to believe it’s my most viewed video of all-time with nearly 50,000 views but I attribute that more to using a Loretta Lynn song than people being interested in pics of Baby Pace!) […]

Welcome Back, Aunt Sandi!

For over a decade, my Aunt Sandi has come from Kelowna to visit us for about a month every spring. Obviously, that hasn’t been possible for the last couple years and we debated back and forth whether to do it this year since she has some pretty serious respiratory issues and although our entire immediate […]

Saturday Snap – Cleaning Out The Garage

Ready to clean out the garage… Can’t make out the beer’s label? Yes, I was drinking a “Dad” beer! It’s a lot of pressure washing your garage mats (yes, the beer’s the reason I’m making dad jokes – honest!) 😉

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Our Little Roughneck (August 2011)

I suspect I’m not the only person in Saskatchewan who has a complicated relationship with the oil and gas industry. I think even people who work in the industry and/or who are pro-oil know that there are environmental impacts (though they will argue about the extent of those impacts – anywhere from “oh, it’s just […]

Saturday Snap – Supper With Friends (and Some Thoughts on the World We’re Living In)

Shea and I went for supper with some friends on Friday night and it was good to catch up, compare notes, and have a few laughs after not having done a restaurant meal with people who we’d normally go out with a few times per year before Covid. (We have done virtual happy hours/outside visits/potlucks […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Smile! (May 2014)

I love watching my kids grow but I miss when they were small too…mostly because you could dress them in ways that were as entertaining to you as a parent as anything!

Saturday Snap – My Good Deed For The Week?

Last week, a buddy who lives nearby asked if I’d help him move a fridge. Since I was picking up a free growler of beer he’d offered, I felt like I had to say “yes” (just kidding – I would’ve said “yes” even without the beer bribe!) But I misunderstood what he was asking. I […]
