Music Monday – “Unlock my body and move myself to dance/Moving warm liquid, flowing blowing glass”

Went on our inaugural camping trip of the summer this past weekend at the beautiful Echo Lake Provincial Park. Due to a mispronunciation when Pace was little, these fine treats will forever be known as “smorts” in our family! 😉 Until I looked at this photo when we got home, I never noticed that […]

Music Monday – “Cottonwood fallin’/Like snow in July/Fireflies poppin’/Like the fourth of July.”

For the past few years, my aunt has come to stay with us for a month or so in May. She’s around for Pace’s birthday, helps watch the kids while we tackle some of our spring projects, uses our home as a base for visiting various friends from when she lived in Regina and otherwise […]

Duking It Out With Wendel Clark at #hometownhockey #yqr

In the photo below, Sasha seems to be saying “Dad, if you raise your fist to this guy, you’re going to lose!” That’s not too far-fetched actually since, when I stepped up for my photo, I accidentally bumped into Wendel as I moved to stand beside him. “Hey, keep the elbows down!” he quipped and I was […]

Music Monday – “Everyday’s not Valentine’s/But you make it feel like most of the time/When I’m all alone with you.”

Michael Franti used this video to propose to his girlfriend who happens to be a nurse from Saskatchewan which Shea informs me are two of the best qualities a woman can have! 😉

I still remember looking at the Travel section of The Weekend Times and seeing an ad for a “Cross-Canada Adventure”. After landing in the maritimes, you would take a coach through Quebec and […]
