Music Monday – “But I don’t need no friends/As long as I gaze on Waterloo sunset/I am in paradise”

Watched “Juliet, Naked” this weekend with Shea (who thought the tale of an obnoxiously nitpicky music obsessive hit a bit too close to home for her!) 😉 Anyhow, this song played a pivotal part of the movie… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cyh__QQD2js “Waterloo Sunset” – The Kinks

Our Second Trip to Mexico During Covid?

I said yesterday’s visit to Mexico would be our only one but we enjoyed it so much, we decided to go again to celebrate Valentine’s Day! 😉 (We’re not the only ones missing beach vacations apparently but this is pretty extreme!)

Toxic Positivity

I saw this in the context of someone dealing with cancer but I can think of lots of other situations – workplaces, volunteer organizations, schools, families, life during Covid in general – where everyone is encouraged to act as if everything is good and positive and happy instead of acknowledging that things might be less […]

Music Monday – “‘Cause I’ve been lost on them back roads/And many times, I’ve gone blind/Losing faith in my family/Had drew me out my damn mind”

Shea and I are hooked on “Yellowstone” right now and a big part of that is realising how many songs on the soundtrack are already part of the “Camping Faves” playlist we listen to non-stop every summer (including a few by Ryan Bingham who also stars in the show as a singing cowboy.) “Southside of […]

Is Hello Fresh Worth It?

Shea and I recently decided to give Hello Fresh a try. If you haven’t heard of it, it’s one of a few competing companies that have sprung up over the past decade or so that sends pre-packed supplies for making a single meal. Many of my friends swear by meal delivery services, referring to them […]

Saturday Snap – A Pretty “Big” Milestone

Considering all he does is eat and sleep, it’s not surprising.  But still a bit shocking to see our teenager is suddenly taller than his mom – feels like he grew three inches in the last month! He has three tall grandparents and one shorter one – Shea’s average height and I’m relatively tall (6’2″) […]

Friday Fun Link – Nice Lights! @HawksleyWorkman

Shea and I took the kids for our annual “Twinkle Tour” around Regina tonight and funny to think how Covid has even influenced this simple tradition… – immediately noticing a higher amount of traffic at the “starred” houses on the Sparkle Tour web site, likely because there are fewer other entertainment options – no work […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Rural Sask Wedding (August 2008)

I keep looking at old pictures and thinking about how much has changed due to Covid. Here’s another example: – more than 30 people gathered – dancing – singing – drinking – communal meal – close together – no masks On and on…
