Five Highlights From Two Weeks of Camping

Back from nearly two weeks’ straight of camping… We spent a week up at Good Spirit Provincial Park near Yorkton, had a few days back in Regina to re-stock over the August long weekend (very strange to be driving in to Regina as an endless stream of campers were heading out!) We then went down […]

Gone Camping (Again)…

I’m really enjoying every time I get to post this photo… 😉

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – BA – English

Often when I’m out at the University of Regina, I’ll wander the halls of the ol’ alma mater to see what’s changed and what’s stayed the same. In a very “Dead Poet’s Society” moment, I came across my photo on the wall during a visit a few years back. Look at that young whippersnapper, all […]

Saturday Snap – Privatized Liquor Stores In Action #yqr

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – A Most Canadian Library Sign (July 9, 2008)

When I worked for a regional library system, many of our libraries were located in unusual locations – many co-located with a town office, a school that had been closed, a fire hall, a laundry mat. And of course we had one that was in a hockey rink – whose main doors became the entrance […]

Saturday Snap – Goodbye Tree

We’ve had a wonderful tree in our yard (even better, in our neighbour’s yard with big branches hanging over the fence providing us shade and a place to hang a swing) since we bought this house. Unfortunately, the tree recently split and had to be taken down. Sasha was in the yard when they cut […]

Gone Camping…

Likely no posts for most of the coming week as we’re going camping… …to the same campground where Shea was a bridesmaid in a beautiful wedding a couple summers ago!
