How Do You Make Amends For Trying To Erase A Culture

I met Tasha through friends while in University but never knew her story until now. Worth a read…

Saturday Snap – Privatized Liquor Stores In Action #yqr

As a general rule, I tend to prefer public ownership of essential services – utilities including power, natural gas and telephones; grain marketing (especially as opposed to ownership by Middle Eastern corporations) and, of course, liquor. 😉 Under the Brad Wall government, Saskatchewan has opened a couple private liquor stores recently including one in a former steak house […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – A Most Canadian Library Sign (July 9, 2008)

When I worked for a regional library system, many of our libraries were located in unusual locations – many co-located with a town office, a school that had been closed, a fire hall, a laundry mat. And of course we had one that was in a hockey rink – whose main doors became the entrance […]

Gone Camping…

Likely no posts for most of the coming week as we’re going camping… …to the same campground where Shea was a bridesmaid in a beautiful wedding a couple summers ago!

Saturday Snap –   Happy Father’s Day!

We’re not season ticket holders but for the past couple years, a friend has given us his tickets to the Riders’ pre-season home opener. This also coincides with Father’s Day which makes it a nice outing for Pace and I…

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 […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Fair Fun (June 2013)

Pace at the mall parking lot fair we take him to each year to mark the end-of-school-year…  

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

Country music always makes me think of summer and camping and all that good stuff wrapped up all in one. Literally…

Saturday Snap – Good-Bye Aunt Sandi

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 […]
