Throwback Thursday – #tbt – There Are Many Reasons I Became a Librarian…

…my grandma having this set of very unique books, The Richards Topical Encyclopedia in her sun room is one of them! One of my pet theories is that most professions require extremely specialized knowledge – heart surgeon, carpenter, PhD researcher, appliance repair person. Librarian is one of a very few (teacher? politician?) professions where being […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Lest We Forget (Grandpa Peet, circa 1944?)

My Grandpa Peet drove a tank in Holland during the war (Grandpa Hammond couldn’t enlist due to health reasons so he supported the war effort by continuing to farm back in Canada.) That’s why Remembrance Day is perhaps when I think of my Grandpa Peet more than any day of the year…the life he led, […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Wedding Dance (June 2003)

This is a picture of my parents at my cousin’s wedding dance in Calgary in 2003.  (His marriage lasted about three years while mom and dad will be celebrating 50 years of marriage later this month!  But to be fair, my cousin had better luck the second time around – and has been married to […]

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!) […]
