Saturday Snap – Divided Family?

‘Tis the time of year when lawn signs spring from the ground for the provincial, municipal and school board elections (why are school boards elected but not library boards? Topic for a different post I think!) Anyhew, had a chuckle when a neighbour noticed our signs – one clearly for the NDP but the municipal […]

Music Monday – “I got 500 dollars in cash in case they don’t take AMEX/She wanted to see me so now I’m headed to/The Annex Sorority house, she snuck me in, she tried to/Keep quiet, couldn’t hold it in”

Pretty cool that a U of R grad has hit the top of the BBC Asian music charts and gone viral on TikTok with this song… “Young Shahrukh” – Tesher

Saturday Snap – A Delayed Housewarming Gift

My parents dropped off a very cool housewarming gift the other day – a Century Family Farm plaque our family received on the 100th anniversary of my great-great grandfather homesteading our family farm in 1883 – framed in barn boards from that same farm.

Music Monday – “Four years old/Riding that new bike/No training wheels/Holding on real tight/Oh baby/Everyone falls”

Not sure what it means when you’re getting music recommendations from your mother-in-law but that’s how I first heard of this singer who also happens to be an RN that my mother-in-law worked with prior to her retirement. Also important to note that this video has some scenes shot at Nickle Lake Regional Park where […]

Saturday Snap – Sarcan Situation

I can’t remember the last time Shea and I took recycling to Sarcan but I’m pretty sure it was before Covid and possibly not since around *last* Christmas since we only take cans every few months once they build up. Of course with Sarcan having been shut down for a few months plus our somewhat […]
