Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Become a Mini-Man With A Mini-Van (June 2014)

I always joked that as uncool as their reputation is, mini-vans are some of the best vehicles I’ve ever owned – you can load them up like a truck (we literally hauled a fridge to our campsite in the van), the sliding doors are a lot safer in garages and parking lots (especially with kids […]

Blogging will be very limited for the next few weeks as I focus on the important things in life such as reading, walking the dog, barbecuing hot dogs and other such pursuits.

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – It’s My Fault (February 2022)

I’m not superstitious but…I may have fucking jinxed the Flames and boosted the Oilers when I jokingly whipped a Flames toque out of my pocket and put it on in front of the Oilers symbol when we were at Rogers Place in Edmonton in February 2022. I’m sorry hockey gods.  Please accept my humble apologies […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Little Kids, Little Problems; Big Kids, Big Problems (April 2013)

When Sasha was born, we had a little baby shower in the Outreach Unit and a couple coworkers who had much older kids shared a piece of wisdom I’ve thought of often: “Little kids, little problems; big kids, big problems.” Little problems like teething and dirty diapers eventually get replaced by driver’s licenses and love […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – iPad (May 2010)

Had a long conversation tonight with retired RPL Deputy Director, Julie McKenna when she happened to be attending a program at the branch I was working at. I told her how, though we didn’t always agree on everything (to put it mildly!), one of the things I always appreciated about her was her deep knowledge […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Fair Haired at the Fair (June 2013)

We loved that a traveling fair used to set-up in the parking lot of a mall near our house every June since it was cheaper, less busy and more convenient than Regina’s main exhibition and fair in August not to mention a great way to celebrate the end of the school year.

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Safety First? (May 2013)

Pace wanted to wear a helmet to be safe one of the first times he cut the grass in our old house but apparently, the open-toed sandals weren’t on either of our radars as a potential safety issue!
