Lovely walk in the park after Sasha’s art class…

Random 2024 Saskatchewan Provincial Election Thoughts

The night the writ dropped a planned constituency association meeting was turned into a door knocking/sign planting evening. In my experience, when a house has two competing signs, it’s usually meant that a husband and wife support different candidates but I learned from my sign planting colleague that in her culture, this can also be […]

Music Monday – “It’s been too hard livin’/But I’m afraid to die?/Cause I don’t know what’s up there/Beyond the sky

Recently had a meeting with all of them again and […]

Living Colour probably influenced […]

Back From Camping…

…and lots of amazing moments and memories: * Great visit with Shea’s cousin and family who are back from New Zealand for a month * About ten books on my “To Read During Camping” list.  (One book, not even on my list, is all I get read – thought I do work through a 377 […]
