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 […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – How Naive We Were (School Year 2016-2017)

As June comes to an end, I have to post this meme I recently rediscovered. It’s funny how dabbing, fidget spinners and bottle flipping were the biggest issues a teacher had to deal with a few years back! I’m not up to doing a full photoshop job but can only imagine the updated version of […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Our First Dine-In Restaurant Meal in Three Months! (March 2020-June 2020)

Usually my “Throwback Thursday” posts go at least a few years back. But this one has me thinking of the past three months – from our last dine-in meal at the Houston Pizza near our house on Friday March 13 after we picked up the kids from what would be their last day of school […]
