Throwback Thursday – #tbt – No Covid, No Covid! (January 2022, March 2021)

The good old days when I could mock Covid by making a giant “C” out of our family’s negative tests back in January of this year… …and even earlier in March 2021 which is when Shea was first able to get Covid rapid tests through her work to be used for herself and her family […]

Music Monday – “Everybody’s got the fever/That is something you all know/Fever isn’t such a new thing/Fever started long ago”

I’m home with a sick kid today (plus had ice cream for breakfast as I have a sore throat myself!) so a rough couple of months in terms of family health continues… Ironically, we only dealt with Covid once (Pace for a week in early October) and, knock on wood, no one else in the […]

Saturday Snap – A Day in the Life

I was off on Friday and had a busy day… 5am – Charlie wakes us up. Years ago, 5am used to be the time I went to bed but not anymore! 6am – watch “Stutz” on Netflix with Shea. Wonder if therapy is easier or harder if you’re rich and famous. 8am – drive Pace […]

The World Is Nuts (aka What’s Keeping Me Sane These Days?)

One of the questions I answer in my annual “End of Year” meme questionnaire is “What kept you sane this year?” It’s a bit early but it’s been a rough year (and a very rough month) for a variety of reasons I may or may not expand on someday. But anyhow, I thought I’d post […]

It Finally Got Us! (aka “Do I Have Covid?”)

It’s a very informal sample but through social media posts, talking to work colleagues and other family and friends, I’ve noticed a big increase in the “I’ve avoided it for 2.5 years but it finally got me” reports of people getting Covid. Our family is no exception – after two and a half years where, […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Our Canine Camping Neighbour, Teddy

Our camping neighbours got a new dog at the start of Covid named Teddy. Sasha was *very* excited to meet him!

Saturday Snap – “Meals That Make Your Mouth Dance”

We don’t consider ourselves “foodies” per se but Shea and I often talk about the restaurant meals we’ve had that “made our mouths dance”. This rarity happens when we find a combination of unique flavours from fresh ingredients created by great chefs. (Side note: highly recommend “The Bear” if you haven’t seen it.) A Korean […]

Maybe I Should’ve Bought A Carpenter’s Square Too?

Went to a few garage sales while camping in Weyburn and one person had set-up a Square account to accept credit card payments! (And what’s $8 get you at a garage sale these days? A brand new tarp still in the plastic, a power bar, an extension cord, and a multi-head screwdriver! I did okay […]
