Saturday Snap – “I’m Working With The Happy People Today!”

It’s funny how the most simple, brief exchange can stick with you forever and maybe even help remind you of what’s ultimately important in life. Many years ago, a former co-worker showed up and saw that she would be working with myself, another staff member who’s arguably about as universally loved as you can get […]

Saturday Snap – You Up For A Pint?

One of our neighbours occasionally texts “You up for a pint?” Most of the time he means beer but the other night, he showed up with a pint jar of homemade moonshine his co-worker had given him. (Apparently the secret is to dissolve Jolly Rancher candies in the mixture?!?)

Saturday Snap – Kids (and Dad?) Having Nothing But Fun

Sasha had her last swim class Friday night which usually means fun and games since the learning is done and the report cards are finished. Unfortunately, the instructor wasn’t able to get the water carpet hooked up properly so I leapt (crouched?) into action to hold it in place while the kids played on it… […]

Saturday Snap – A Gift of Oranges

Sasha had permission to invite a friend over to watch a movie this afternoon and somehow that grew to five girls showing up today to watch movies, eat pizza, and hang out for a few hours. (We approved this but also chuckled at how it snowballed!) We’ve been (mostly) careful through all of Covid but […]

Saturday Snap – Happy 19th Anniversary, Shea (and Happy 2nd Anniversary of the Calendar Year!) ;-)

Shea and I have been together for 24 years (“more than half my life!” she regularly reminds me), married for 19 years and today, are celebrating our “preferred” anniversary date…as we joke that we have three each year: * the February legal one when we got married in jeans in our living room in Calgary […]

Saturday Snap – I See A Lot of Home Fries In My Future!

Maybe a year ago, a coworker hooked me up with a guy who sells 50 lb bags of misshapen potatoes. And of course, when I picked up the first time, it turned out he’s a library patron I knew! In fact, after chatting with him during my most recent pickup, I even ended up sending […]

Saturday Snap – Life’s Too Short For Unsalted Butter

In light of yesterday’s post where I happened to share the screenshot a portion of a life advice article that said we should eat salted butter as life is too short for unsalted, I thought I’d post a pic I happened to snap at Safeway recently. Saying “life is too short for unsalted butter” may […]
