Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Where The Buffalo Roam (April 2007)

Earlier this summer, we heard that Shea’s cousin’s herd of bison had gotten out and were in a nearby farmer’s field. We knew that previously when only one animal had gotten out, her uncle had been able to guide him back into the pasture using a front-end loader tractor he used to feed them which […]

This was taken on the ferry to Isla Mujeres during a trip to Cancun in March 2018.  Amazing how much a single photo can capture how much our world has changed… 1. International Travel 2. Being in a Crowd 3. No one wearing masks 4. Somebody singing in front of people 5. Sightseeing Excursions

Sask Library Association Recommendation Letter (June 2001)

Going through some old papers, I came across this recommendation letter from the Sask Library Association Executive Director.  If this letter didn’t make it clear, I’ve always felt a strong connection to libraries, loved getting to work for the province’s library association and, only five short years later, I’d be off to library school to […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Possession Day! (November 2019)

Hard to believe it was a year ago on November 22 that we took possession of our new house. It has been an eventful twelve months to say the least and though it was a big, stressful decision at the time, probably one of the best decisions of our lives!

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – 10 Horrifying Things I Saw Watching Family Home Movies From the 1970’s

As previously mentioned, we went to Indian Head to celebrate my parents’ 49th wedding anniversary last weekend. As part of the trip down memory lane, we ended up watching some old home movies one night. My dad regularly filmed holidays and parties and family gatherings with an 8mm camera when we were kids so, when […]

Throwback Thursday – Beer Coaster Collage (1995 to now)

I went through a phase in college where I collected beer coasters.  I never did anything with them but after rediscovering them in a container when we moved to our new house, I decided to at least mount them on an unused corkboard. (Of course, since we’re in a new house and our tastes are […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – The American Election: Controversy, Campaigns and Complexity (November 2016)

I attended a presentation at RPL about the history of American elections just prior to the 2016 US election. It was a great presentation but I’ll always remember the Q&A at the end – someone asked “Who do you think will win?” and the presenter looked out, half chuckled (as did most of us in […]
