Throwback Thursday – #tbt – For Weddings and a Funeral (August 2008)

Hard to believe that fifteen years ago we were at Shea’s cousin’s wedding and took this photo of three girls (also cousins) she’d basically raised from babies with our baby. Sadly, the last time we would see the sister on the left was at the sister on the right’s wedding earlier this summer.  She was […]

Saturday Snap – Tough Day at the Office!

Been sick the past couple days but dragged my ass into work as I had a big event on.  I texted Shea to ask if she was going to bring the kids and she replied “I feel like absolute crap. I did a Covid test and it negative but I feel like I was hit […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – First Rapid Tests (March 2021)

We were lucky that Shea is a nurse as we got early access to rapid tests before they were widely distributed to the general public. No way to know for sure but I feel like that was part of why we may have been able to avoid Covid as long as we did – anytime […]

Saturday Snap – Eagles Club

I’ve lived in Regina most of my life but had never been to the Eagles Club, a members-only space downtown that’s reminiscent of a small town bar mixed with a Royal Canadian Legion with a focus on charitable giving. So when a neighbour who’s a member invited Shea and I to join him and a […]

Saturday Snap – Aunt Sandi Returns!

It was a somewhat spontaneous decision but my aunt, who already visits from BC and stays with us for about a month every spring, decided to come back and will be staying with us for a few weeks again.  

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – 20 Years of Seasonal Camping (2003-2023)

Back from our most recent camping stretch but bittersweet as my inlaws decided to pull the pin after twenty years of seasonal camping. (This has been coming for awhile but still tough that the moment finally arrived.) So much of our week away was watching as they listed (and sold) their camper, packed up everything […]

10 Reasons We’ve Ended Up With The World’s Most Bougie Dog

We got the first delivery of a monthly subscription of dog toys & treats called “Woof Pack” today and as I thought about how neither myself (“Beer of the Month“) nor Shea (“Wine of the Month“) or Pace (“Soda Pop of the Month“) or Sasha (“Japanese Snack of the Month“) have ever had a subscription […]

Saturday Snap – Camping Season Is Coming

Yesterday I posted about spring seeding and today I’m posting a picture the in-laws sent of our camp site – has it been a long winter or what?

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – The Last of Us Isn’t Just A Popular TV Show (Oct, Dec 2022, Apr 2023)

Pace in early October… (Shockingly?) Shea and I didn’t test positive until December…though having a teen who pretty much self-isolates 99% of the time anyhow did help keep the rest of us safe when Pace was the first positive in the family.) And even though she ended up getting the PCR test twice in the […]

Saturday Snap – The Real Stars of the @WHLPats Game

Went to the Regina Pats’ final home game of the regular season last night: Thanks to @TaigaBP for donating their Concourse level tickets to a silent auction fundraiser for @CarmichaelOR. Very excited to see @connorbedard97’s final regular season game for @WHLPats!#yqr#RhymesWithNumberOne(Overall) pic.twitter.com/2hm3PndNAk — Jason Hammond (@headtale) March 26, 2023 Connor Bedard gets the bulk of […]
