Saturday Snap – Charlie Sunshine

Nothing better than sitting in a comfy chair in our south-facing office, fresh snow on the ground but sun streaming in, with the house quiet and a dog on my lap as I read a book.

Saturday Snap – Halloween Zombies? Or ???

My son and his girlfriend dressed up as zombies to hand out candy. But the funniest was one kid goes “Are you dressed up as Vomit People?”

Saturday Snap – A Pretty Fun Book Recommendation!

One of the library’s board members is also a regular volunteer for RPL’s Good Food Box Program which is offered in partnership with a local food security agency. During one of our regular chats, we talked about aging parents and, being a librarian to the core, I ended up recommending a book that I had […]

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 – Jan Lake Lodge (July 2014)

With the wildfires burning in northern Saskatchewan (and really, across much of Canada’s north), I can’t help but think of the handful of times I’ve been able to travel to the north of the province for vacations or even work. This was a fishing trip we did with Shea’s family in 2014.

Saturday Snap – Above Ground Pool

My brother-in-law and his wife (and their young son who saved his money to help contribute!) got an above ground pool for their acreage which is halfway between where we camp at Nickle Lake and Weyburn. Still too cold for me but Sasha and her cousin were brave enough to try it out. Will be […]

Secular Sunday – What Happens When An Atheist Climbs The Stations of the Cross?

I’ve basically lived near it for 50+ years. But in all my trips through the Qu’Appelle Valley, had never walked the Stations of the Cross at Lebret. Of course, being an atheist, I also had no desire to climb it for religious reasons. But perhaps I was inspired by the new Pope being named. Or […]
