Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Making a Difference at the Library (May 2021)

“He likes repetition,” she said. “So it’s like ‘yea you were just at the library to visit Jason, and you got to see Cheri, and Shirley gave you the hand stamp. There’s a real connection there that’s vital to him.’” Brandon was a child of the system who was put into foster care at the […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Skype Stitches (September 2013)

Pace was doing video calls long before it was cool – in this case, we needed a video call to show off his first stitches to Grandma and Grandpa.

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – What Do I Want To Be When I Grow Up? (June 2013)

I took Pace to a wrestling show last weekend but it wasn’t his first – we’d gone to one or two over the years and though he never became as obsessed as I was at his age, he did obviously watch wrestling on TV with me occasionally given what he told his kindergarten teacher he […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – RPL Photo Shoot (June 2011)

Feel like I might’ve posted a pic from this photo shoot before but still love it (and believe it or not, I still have that shirt though it’s migrated from “suitable for a casual photo shoot” to “wear it camping while sitting around the fire, may have a few burn holes”!)

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – “Trump Trips Up” (~May 1991?)

I was going through some old papers in a box under the stairs recently and came across a folder of articles I’d clipped and saved, long before most articles from popular magazines were available online from databases or from the magazine’s own web site like they are today. Had to chuckle for a couple reasons: […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Grade Eight Graduation (May 2007)

This little baby is about to graduate Grade Eight in a couple weeks! (And my mask is very fashionable – who knew that fourteen years later, I’d be wearing one every day!) 😉 And yes, the rotating seasonal display in the alcove at the entrance to our house has become a temporary shrine to the […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Mask Wearing in the “Before Times” (June 2016)

Browsing my photos, I occasionally come across a photo of someone in the family wearing a mask and it’s weird to think how unusual it felt at the time – when Pace had to go into isolation for a weekend after presenting with some weird breathing (later diagnosed as childhood asthma), when I’ve gone in […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – “I’m Ready for My Curbside, Mr. Dewey!” (March 27, 2021)

This was one of the last pictures I took two months ago to the day on Saturday March 27, 2021 as Regina Public Library prepared to once again close our branches the following day as Covid was spiking in Regina and area. And just like when we shut down in March 2020 “a week or […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Echo Lake Summer (Summer 2017)

A video I cut of the many highlights of the first year we had a seasonal camp site at Echo Lake Provincial Park. A year of Covid really makes you appreciate all these little moments – having various family and friends to our campsite, shared meals, laughs around the campfire, sleepovers, meeting random strangers.
