Music Monday – “I don’t know what you think you’ve been told/If I ever was for sale, I never sold/And it’s short on flashing lights and rhinestone clothes/1800 miles from Music Row”

Throwback Thursday – Go Riders Go! (November 2013)

The last time the Riders were in the Grey Cup in 2013, I’m pretty sure that us dressing like this helped them win so we may have to do it again this weekend! 😉

Saturday Snap – A Pretty Fun Book Recommendation!

One of the library’s board members is also a regular volunteer for RPL’s Good Food Box Program which is offered in partnership with a local food security agency. During one of our regular chats, we talked about aging parents and, being a librarian to the core, I ended up recommending a book that I had […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Jan Lake Lodge (July 2014)

With the wildfires burning in northern Saskatchewan (and really, across much of Canada’s north), I can’t help but think of the handful of times I’ve been able to travel to the north of the province for vacations or even work. This was a fishing trip we did with Shea’s family in 2014.
