Went to my hometown this weekend for the grand re-opening of the historic Bell Farm Round Barn , a reconstruction of the original building which had been near collapse only a few short years ago which would've been a shame, both for the loss of history and also, on a more personal note, as this […]
4400 km. 20 days. 9 stops. 3 provinces. One really awesome trip! And a super-long post to vent all the built-up thoughts after three weeks without blogging!Here are some random thoughts about our trip…1. “It’s the journey, not the destination”Shea’s a “destination” person and I’m a “journey” person and though neither is right or wrong, […]
My sporadically-recurring blog feature “Saccharine Sunday” returns with this video which is a bit over the top (especially that piano motif in the background – gag!) but has an otherwise touching message. Even though it's aimed at middle aged, empty nester, as a relatively new parent, I enjoyed it too. Sometimes seeing Pace run down […]
We went to the Western Development Museum in Moose Jaw today (I didn't post it on my Facebook in case someone saw my status update and broke into our home as many will be led to believe is inevitable if they saw the fear-mongering report on the CKCK evening news yesterday – terrible! ) We […]

Here's our family farm overlooking the Qu'Appelle Valley. (It's not documented but someone said that a lot of small towns are in the […]
Shea, Pace and I went for a bite to eat before a doctor's appointment late this afternoon to check on the status of my leg (I'd gone to a clinic to get it looked at originally so my family doctor hadn't seen it yet.) Pace, not having had a nap today, was a bit restless […]
…although these are quite a bit better quality than usual since we got a real photographer to take them as opposed to me whipping out the iPhone and going “Hold it!” anytime Pace does something cute. (Funny story – we were at Central last Saturday and one of the pages saw Pace run by. Then […]
On the long weekend, we made a loop hitting Fort Qu'Appelle (a resort community an hour outside Regina), Katepwa Beach, our family cottage on the other side of the lake, our farm, Indian Head where I grew up then down to Weyburn to spend the night with Shea's folks at their camp site.
