Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Camp Hope (October 2021)

Just over a year ago in mid-October, I saw a friend post on social media that a tent city was being set up in Pepsi Park in Regina and looking for donations. We had an extra tent so I took it down and briefly spoke to some of the organizers (including my friend by phone […]

Music Monday – “Who said that every wish/Would be heard and answered/When wished on the morning star”

RIP Bob McGrath. A huge part of many kids’ childhoods and a deep, impactful connection to Saskatchewan as well. (I never met the man but of all the celebrities I’ve tried to add on Facebook – some successfully, some not – his acceptance was probably the one that made me the happiest!) “Rainbow Connection” – […]

Agribition Supervision

With my criminal record check approved, I was off to be a parent chaperone for Sasha’s class visit to Agribition today. (Good thing it was approved as I had a few moments of “Oh-oh – that’ll get you on a list!” during the day – from accidentally leaving the house with my fly down to […]

Saturday Snap – A Day in the Life

I was off on Friday and had a busy day… 5am – Charlie wakes us up. Years ago, 5am used to be the time I went to bed but not anymore! 6am – watch “Stutz” on Netflix with Shea. Wonder if therapy is easier or harder if you’re rich and famous. 8am – drive Pace […]

Music Monday – In Which Jason Programs The Grey Cup Halftime Show…

Nothing against Florida-Georgia Line but it’s right there in the name – no connection to Canada, let alone Saskatchewan. In fact, two of the three performers in the halftime show were American and the third was from Ontario. Why you wouldn’t feature Saskatchewan artists on a giant stage like this boggles my mind. Using a […]

First Snow of the Year (2022 Edition)

We had a dump a couple weeks ago but that disappeared and I think I’ve decided that this annual post will come the first day we have “snow that sticks” (and today’s Alberta clipper definitely seems that’ll be the case with a big storm blowing in overnight, some highways closed, buses stuck and people asking […]

Friday Fun Link – Charlie Echo Shows Toque Who The Boss Is

I didn’t blog this week as I ended up having an unexpected journey through our overloaded healthcare system the past few days with an ill family member. I may write more about my experience at some point (short version: healthcare system in shambles, healthcare workers are amazing!) but for now, I just want to focus […]
