A local fencing club was winding up a practice in the same Leisure Centre where Pace just finished swimming lessons. I took him over to peek at the action from the gym door and the members of the group, including a National Champion, could not have been more welcoming when they saw a young kid […]

Saturday Snap – Farewell Outreach!
After eighteen months, I had my final shift at Regina Public Library’s Outreach Unit yesterday. (On Tuesday, I become Branch Supervisor of our Regent Place Branch.)

Instead of going back and post-posting (er, is that a word? Backdating posts to keep my “daily post” commitment going anyhow), I thought that, this time I’d […]

(When Pace was a baby and we found ourselves in similar circumstances, we headed for town. I often joke about “Second Baby Syndrome” and Sasha suffered it here as […]
Saturday Snap – On The Road Again
I had agreed to work the Saturday of the long weekend for my boss, who is out of town for her son’s wedding this weekend, before Shea and I got an invite to a 40th wedding anniversary for her aunt and uncle. I still would’ve helped my boss out, even if we knew about the […]
Saturday Snap – Definitely Ready For Grade One!
Hard to believe Pace is done Kindergarten next week – this year has really flown! He wrote this out without prompting the other day. Obviously, he’s got that alphabet-thing down – bring on spelling! 😉
