Saturday Snap – All I Want For Christmas…

…is an $18,000 piece of art! But I should back up… After picking up Sasha for her art class (she’s decided she wants to be an artist or art teacher when she grows up), we all went to Pile of Bones Brewery intending to have a Saturday afternoon beer/soda. But it was packed so we […]

The Years Have Flown By: Happy 50th Anniversary Ray & Janet Hammond!

A couple weeks ago, I took my parents on a charter flight as a unique way to see how the years have flown by as we visited a few significant locations from their life ahead of their 50th wedding anniversary I was originally going to do the flight on their actual anniversary which happens to […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Helicopter Ride in Hawaii (January 2012)

I took mom and dad on a charter flight for their anniversary last week. It was their first time in a small Cessna but not their first time in the air as I also took them on a helicopter ride during a family trip to Hawaii in 2012 (though given the company we used had […]

A Few Random Thoughts From 2021 @Sask_NDP Virtual Convention

Shea and I signed up to attend the virtual Sask NDP convention this weekend. We’ve been to a handful of conventions over the years since our first in 2009 – mostly in years when there was a leadership vote but also as delegates from our constituency on occasion. (With that said, we’re not actively involved […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Homemade “Baby’s Coming!” Photoshoot (April 2013)

The Scottish runs deep in me so I was too cheap to do a professional photoshoot when Shea was pregnant with baby #2. Instead, using our camera’s timer, a tripod, and the poor lighting in our basement, we did our own photos (which turned out to be only a couple days before Sasha was born!) […]

“Heels” Trailer

I find it hilarious that my wife wasn’t going to watch this wrestling-based TV series until Ben Mulroney of all people recommended it on the CTV Morning News! (Of course I also find it funny that Ben Mulroney is recommending this behind-the-scenes wrestling show which has lots of violence – as you’d expect – and […]

Back From Camping (and Five “Redneck” Moments)

Eternal optimist that I am, I keep saying that Covid has had some unintended benefits. One of those is because we couldn’t do a winter trip this year, it also meant we had more holidays to take in the summer – two weeks in July but also two weeks in August which we don’t usually […]

Happy (Third) Anniversary (of the Year), Shea!

Sure, we have three anniversaries but today happens to be one of them so I thought I’d mention it! 🙂 For those who don’t know how we ended with *three* wedding anniversaries, here’s the story… First off, due to the red tape and expense of a legal destination wedding at the time, we chose to […]
