Head Tale - Saskatchewan

Music Monday – “And if I weren’t a flatland boy, I’d say I have a hill/A hill that I will die upon if the climb don’t get me killed/If there were such heights around here for a guy to lay his pride/Maybe I’d rest before I died if I weren’t a flatland boy”

I’m old enough to remember using purple gas on our farm. “Purple Gas” – Zach Bryan and Noeline Hofman

Music Monday – “The ice caps are melting but the skies are still blue/There’s oil in the water I got them revelation blues/I ain’t no believer but I can’t deny the truth/The end times are coming I got them revelation blues”

“Revelation Blues” – Zachary Lucky

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Fair Haired at the Fair (June 2013)

We loved that a traveling fair used to set-up in the parking lot of a mall near our house every June since it was cheaper, less busy and more convenient than Regina’s main exhibition and fair in August not to mention a great way to celebrate the end of the school year.

Saturday Snap – I Don’t Always Drive A Minivan…

Saturday Snap – Jorts!

Nothing makes the camping season official like me wearing jorts for the first time! (This year, we even were able to get into our seasonal site one week earlier than usual due to the lack of snow over the winter and the park crew being ahead of schedule with annual maintenance – yay!)

Saturday Snap – That Moment When You See Your Car on Regina Rant & Rave

When I met a friend for lunch at Tim Horton’s before work on Thursday, the last thing I expected to see on social media later was a pic of my car in the parking lot! Luckily it wasn’t a rant about my bad parking job or the excess of window stickers I have on my […]

Scott Moe Booed at the Brier

The Brier is basically Scott Moe’s base – older, white, rural – and he got booed?!? I mean, a lot of grandparents have grandkids who are being screwed by the Sask Party’s unwillingness to negotiate in good faith with STF. Maybe it’s finally reaching people that Moe has to go?
