Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Isla Mujeres Ferry (And A Selection of Things I Miss In Covid Times) (March 2018)

This was taken on the ferry to Isla Mujeres during a trip to Cancun in March 2018.  Amazing how much a single photo can capture how much our world has changed… 1. International Travel 2. Being in a Crowd 3. No one wearing masks 4. Somebody singing in front of people 5. Sightseeing Excursions

The Return of Rainbow

Sasha’s had one of those Elf on the Shelf things the past few years (well, a Dollar Store knock-off) but this year, she’s figured out some secrets about Santa, the North Pole and surveillance state elves that watch your every move. Even though she’s figured out that the elf doesn’t move on its own (I […]

A Memorable Way to Decorate a 2020 Christmas Tree

Between the four of us, we’ve accumulated numerous masks over the last few months. Shea’s dad suggested we could use them to make a very memorable 2020 Christmas photo (and this doesn’t even include all the ones we have stored in vehicles and stuffed in jackets and left at work!)

Sask Library Association Recommendation Letter (June 2001)

Going through some old papers, I came across this recommendation letter from the Sask Library Association Executive Director.  If this letter didn’t make it clear, I’ve always felt a strong connection to libraries, loved getting to work for the province’s library association and, only five short years later, I’d be off to library school to […]

One Crazy Unintended Consequence of Covid?

It’s never happened before but Shea and I are almost completely ready for Christmas and it’s not even December 1 yet! We put the tree up right after Remembrance Day after making the mistake of saying/spelling “When do you want to put up the T-R-E-E?” in front of a little grade two kid who we […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Possession Day! (November 2019)

Hard to believe it was a year ago on November 22 that we took possession of our new house. It has been an eventful twelve months to say the least and though it was a big, stressful decision at the time, probably one of the best decisions of our lives!

Saturday Snap – Thoughts From A Very Strange Halloween

I took Sasha out trick or treating for a couple hours tonight (Pace was off with friends) and it was noticeably quieter on the streets compared to other years (also quieter at our house – we’re in a new house but in the same area as our old house.  Our neighbour said they usually get […]
