Saturday Snap – A Delayed Housewarming Gift

My parents dropped off a very cool housewarming gift the other day – a Century Family Farm plaque our family received on the 100th anniversary of my great-great grandfather homesteading our family farm in 1883 – framed in barn boards from that same farm. We got the plaque in 1983 (I think the same year […]

Friday Fun Link – Browsing The Stacks: A Photo Appreciation of Libraries

The Atlantic has a paywall but allows a certain number of free visits each month so hopefully you can get in (or have a VPN or use Incognito Mode). This is a pretty amazing photo essay. (via MetaFilter)

Saturday Snap – Sarcan Situation

I can’t remember the last time Shea and I took recycling to Sarcan but I’m pretty sure it was before Covid and possibly not since around *last* Christmas since we only take cans every few months once they build up. Of course with Sarcan having been shut down for a few months plus our somewhat […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Minot Wal-Mart (April 2012)

With the Canada-US border closed for the foreseeable future, I was trying to figure out the last time I went to the States. For awhile there in the early 2010’s, I’d say we ended up going about once or twice a year, either to Williston which is just over the border or Minot, which is […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt- When Masks Were Optional (March 2005)

Found this picture of Shea wearing a mask from 2005 – I can’t remember the context though – could’ve been one she was wearing as a nurse, could’ve been because we were doing painting or using some sort of chemical!

Life Is Better At The Lake!

Before we go away on any extended holiday, I usually post some sort of “Gone Camping/Gone Beaching” message to let people know I probably won’t be posting much. This time, I completely forgot to do that but I suspect any regular reader of this blog figured that’s probably what’s up if/when I drop off the […]

Saturday Snap – Decorative Chair

Showed up at our campsite last weekend to find a neighbour had surprised us with a custom decorated chair that had been converted into a plant holder (plants courtesy Shea and her green thumb!)

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Snow at Shutdown (March 2020)

Happened to this picture from early March which gives a sense of how long we’ve been living with Covid.  Given that we shut down just before March 20/21, we’re technically into our third season of living with Covid – winter, spring and now summer.   And there will likely be many more seasons of Covid-life to […]
