Saturday Snap – Parkour Lesson @FluxRegina #yqr

Pace went for a trial parkour lesson at Flux School of Human Movement today. Here’s a series of photos of one of the moves they learned – the Lache.    

Great #Saskatchewan MustardFest #yqr

Shea and I attended MustardFest with my mom last weekend (Grandpa stayed home and babysat which was just as well given how crowded the event was.) It threatened rain like they had in 2014 but it turned into a beautiful day this year for people to celebrate one of Saskatchewan’s biggest crops. My only suggestion […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Back to School

Here’s a shot of the elementary school I attended growing up. I took this picture when we were back to Indian Head for a visit a few years ago but the look of the building including that 1980’s colour scheme hasn’t changed.  (The playground however has changed quite a bit.) We went past my elementary […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Great Picture of My Mom (Oct 2007)

This is one of my all-time favourite pics of my mom (and a cropped version remains as her Facebook profile picture since I first helped her set-up an account on that site!) The photo was taken during a Long Term Service Awards dessert banquet for Regina-Qu’Appelle Health Region Employees. Although I wish I could take […]

50 Years of #yqr Copper Kettle Restaurant

The Copper Kettle is a local institution and I’m proud that one of the times I called over to order pizza for a meeting at the library, I ended up having Mr. Gardikiotis take my order personally. When he heard I was with the library, he replied “Oh, the library!  I love the library!  You did […]

Five Highlights From Two Weeks of Camping

Back from nearly two weeks’ straight of camping… We spent a week up at Good Spirit Provincial Park near Yorkton, had a few days back in Regina to re-stock over the August long weekend (very strange to be driving in to Regina as an endless stream of campers were heading out!)  We then went down […]

Gone Camping (Again)…

I’m really enjoying every time I get to post this photo… 😉

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – BA – English

Often when I’m out at the University of Regina, I’ll wander the halls of the ol’ alma mater to see what’s changed and what’s stayed the same. In a very “Dead Poet’s Society” moment, I came across my photo on the wall during a visit a few years back.  Look at that young whippersnapper, all […]

Google Maps Street View Player – Pike Lake to Outlook

Inspired by the first portion of our route home today – from Pike Lake Provincial Park half an hour south of Saskatoon where we spent the weekend camping on to the Outlook Regional Park where we stopped for lunch – I found a web site that allows you to “drive” between two locations using Google Street View images.
