Throwback Thursday – #tbt – My First Ever Amazon Order (August 1997)

Was digging through the depths of my computer’s hard drive and came across a pretty amazing find…the email receipt I got for my first ever order from Amazon back in summer 1997. A few things to note… not sure why but I used my work email address for the order when I’m pretty sure I […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – My Favourite US Trip? (January 2012)

After last week’s post thinking back to the last time I think I traveled to the US, I thought it’d be fun to also highlight what was probably my favourite US trip ever for another “Throwback Thursday” post. I was very fortunate to have parents who loved traveling and growing up, I got to travel […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Minot Wal-Mart (April 2012)

With the Canada-US border closed for the foreseeable future, I was trying to figure out the last time I went to the States. For awhile there in the early 2010’s, I’d say we ended up going about once or twice a year, either to Williston which is just over the border or Minot, which is […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt- When Masks Were Optional (March 2005)

Found this picture of Shea wearing a mask from 2005 – I can’t remember the context though – could’ve been one she was wearing as a nurse, could’ve been because we were doing painting or using some sort of chemical!

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Snow at Shutdown (March 2020)

Happened to this picture from early March which gives a sense of how long we’ve been living with Covid.  Given that we shut down just before March 20/21, we’re technically into our third season of living with Covid – winter, spring and now summer.   And there will likely be many more seasons of Covid-life to […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Early 80’s Birthday

A friend who used to live on my street (and may have been one of my first “girlfriends”?) posted this to her Facebook page recently. I honestly thought “maybe we dressed like that because…80’s?”.  But turns out it’s from her birthday (how old are we in this pic – 7? 8?) and the “unique” fashion […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Stop Thief! Board Game (1979)

Came across an ad for this board game on a local buy/sell board. They wanted $75 (!) for this “classic” game so obviously not going to be picking it up. But it did bring back fond memories of playing it as a kid.  Is it any wonder I came to love technology and gadgets so […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – “We are closing for at least two weeks, maybe more” (March 16, 2020)

This was the sign one of my staff hastily wrote during the frantic last day my library was open to the public (which ironically, I suspect was one of the busiest circulation days in my branch’s history as people took *armloads* of books – perhaps realising our project of “at least a couple weeks” was […]
