Eulogy For Grandma Peet

I'm sort of working in reverse here. The following is the first eulogy I ever did. I had little idea what I was doing at the time but I knew that I wanted to do something unique and different to capture my grandma (who was both of those things) rather than the traditional “this person was born here, married him/her, did this for a living, died here, is survived by” paint-by-numbers type eulogy.

Eulogy For Grandma Hammond

Since I've got a bit of a morbid theme going, I thought I'd post another eulogy – this one was for my Grandma Hammond who passed away a few years ago.

Eulogy For Grandpa Peet

(I mentioned a couple weeks ago that this eulogy had gone over very well and that I would post it when time allowed. A long weekend is ideal for catching up on all those loose ends and so here it is…)

So I Was Sitting In the Dentist's Chair…

…and what better time for letting your mind wander far FAR away?  If a couple recent posts were “link dumps”, consider this one a “mind dump” as I sit at home waiting on a few things before I head back to Weyburn after a quick trip into the city.  (Hmm, one thing that didn't factor […]

A Quick Update From BC

I'm sitting at the Kelowna Public Library using a temporary barcode and password (do all public libraries have this option for visitors?  They should!) to check e-mail after a very long day.  (I start to shake if I don't check e-mail at least every second day.) The funeral was good – the Royal Canadian Legion did a […]

The Price of A Gallon

Driving into pre-natal class tonight, I realised that we've spent more money commuting to the class in the last few weeks than we did actually registering for the class.  Gasoline is still one of the cheapest liquids available for purchase but yet another recent jump in Regina (to $1.17 a litre I think) means that […]

I Have Nothing To Say

It rarely happens but after a long day (went out on the longest van run we do which  took me almost to the Manitoba border then back, starting at 6am and back at 3pm), I'm pretty beat and have nothing to talk about, no photos I feel like uploading, no sites I feel like linking […]

So Much Randomness In The World

Apparently having a full-time job in a city an hour away from where you normally live is not conducive to keeping up with e-mail, Facebook, blog posts, personal diary entries, baby diary entries, regular web surfing activities as well as all those other things that make up this thing we call life.  For instance, last […]
