Saturday Snap – A Busy Week in the Hammond House

Sasha went to a recently opened trampoline park with a bunch of friends for her birthday… Pace did his driver’s exam (didn’t make it but examiner said he did he really well and it was mostly mistakes due to nerves that caused him to fail which is apparently the case with 3/4 of first-time drivers […]

Music Monday – “He said ‘Son, you ever been to Vegas?’ I said ‘No’/He said ‘That’s where we’re gonna go, You need a change of pace’/And when we hit the strip with all the wedding chapels and the neon signs/He said ‘I left my wallet in El Segundo’ and proceeded to take two grand of mine/We made tracks to the Mandalay Bay hotel/Asked the bell boy if he’d take me and my monkey as well?”

Such a good song.  Loved the Robbie Williams documentary on Netflix too! “Me and My Monkey” – Robbie Williams

Happy Anniversary Shea!

What a difference twenty-one years makes – mostly in the quality of digital photography! 😉

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – First Dementia Signs (February 2018)

One good thing about being an obsessive journal keeper since right around the time I graduated high school (and that those journals, started in WordPerfect, have now all been digitized and are completely searchable.) So that’s how I know that the very first reference I made to my mom showing signs of dementia was in […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Snorkelling in Hawaii (January 2012)

So glad the tour guide on this snorkeling tour didn’t actually need a bribe to make sure he didn’t drop our water camera when he swam underneath us to take this unique photo! 😉

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Hyatt Ziva (March 2019)

We had hoped to book Hyatt Ziva (our favourite resort we’ve ever stayed at) for this year’s trip but couldn’t make it work since this year’s trip is going to be not just my immediate family but my parents and my sister and her family and there weren’t enough rooms left to accommodate us all […]
