Pace brought home his application form for high school yesterday and that’s a bit hard to believe!
Hard to believe that March 11 is the one year anniversary of the WHO declaring Covid-19 a worldwide pandemic. I thought it was perfect that it fell on a Throwback Thursday as I was sure I’d likely have a lot of appropriate photos from that momentous day a year ago that I could post. But […]
Sasha’s pretty obsessed with this True/False book about the planets. Future astronaut confirmed! 😉
Through my work with the Writers Guild of Alberta, I became involved with the Calgary Freedom to Read Week Committee. I can’t find it online now but my memory is that this committee of writers, librarians, publishers and social activists was formed after some MLA held up some book in the Alberta Legislature to denounce […]
We have a little alcove near the entrance of our house where we’ve hung a “Century Family Farm” plaque that my family got in 1983 and which my parents gave to me as a housewarming gift after having it framed in barn board.

Buy a six pack of Sol at the liquor store, some limes at the grocery store, and put beach videos on the TV. 🙁 (But hey, at least we’re being safer than overly entitled snowbirds!)

We’ve had a lot of snow this year and one big advantage of our new house is having an attached garage so we don’t have to shovel/scrape/dig out like at our old house (which had a detached garage but which we rarely used since it was: a) full of junk b) behind the house and […]
