Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Premier Scott Moe Declares A State of Emergency (March 2020)

Now that Saskatchewan is in the midst of being one of the first provinces to remove basically all Covid-19 restrictions, stopping reporting Covid-19 stats except on a weekly basis and just generally pretending the pandemic is over because…reasons, I thought it’d be a nice bookend to revisit that initial press conference where Premier Moe first […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Fantasyland Hotel (February 2014)

With international travel still a bit uncertain (especially if you ended up having to extend your stay due to a positive test at the destination or isolate when you got home), we’ve decided to book a trip to Edmonton where we haven’t been since 2014.  We leave in a week and are getting pretty excited…

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Kauai/Maui Trip (January 2012)

A co-worker recently told me she’s going to Kauai and I am incredibly jealous. Kauai might actually be the single most beautiful place I’ve been on this earth and Shea still says Anini Beach is one of her favourite beaches of all-time. Here’s a montage video I made of our trip which had eight days […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Family Literacy Day (January 2018)

Happy Family Literacy Day! Here’s some pics from a Family Literacy Day event we had at the library a few years back…

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – A Couple of Muggers (Feb 2013)

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Get the Shot! (December 2009)

At a Christmas party one of Shea’s nursing colleagues hosted in 2009, one feature was pre-made alcohol shots in syringes. Little did we know how much “get the shot” would change in meaning a decade later!  ?

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – MuchMusic in the 1980’s/1990’s

  Saw an article that influential music and pop culture Canadian station, MuchMusic (later rebranded as “Much”) is moving on to TikTok and YouTube. I’m not sure young people today can appreciate how influential MuchMusic the station was with its VJ’s, dance parties at schools, Speaker’s Corner, special features (Snow Job!), the compilation albums (especially […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Christmas Tree (Dec 2014)

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Candy Cane Cast (November 2009)

Sometimes I forget how popular the online photo sharing site, Flickr used to be in the day (it was Instgram before Instagram, kids!) But the other day, someone “Favourited” this pic on the site and getting that notification reminded me how Flickr was my “go to” for looking at/sharing online photos for many years and […]

Friday Fun Link – Kelloggs vs. GenZ

Kellogg’s workers in the States who have been on strike since October (in the US, apparently workers aren’t guaranteed their job after a strike as I believe is the case in Canada) were in the process of being laid off en masse by the company who wanted to hire 1400 permanent replacement workers. A bunch […]
