Throwback Thursday – Locked in The Camper (August 2015)

I told this story soon after it happened but now, five years later, it also qualifies to be a “Throwback Thursday” post as well. At the time, we were at Shea’s parents’ campsite getting ready for supper and no one was paying much attention to Sasha in the camper as people bustled in and out. […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Coteau Books Board of Directors (January 2016)

I joined the board of Coteau Books in early 2012 but this photo of the board is from January 2016. Coteau entered bankruptcy earlier this year so this is from happier times and what happy times they were. During my many years on the Coteau board, I met such a wide range of great people […]

Throwback Thursday – Barn Board Accounting (April 1932)

This is pretty special – my dad was getting some barn boards from our farm to use in framing projects and found one where my grandfather had done some accounting as he sold grain to others (according to dad, he remembers the grain being sold by the five gallon pail.) My brother-in-law stained the board, […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – “Reader Pride” Wrap-Up (June 2008)

This was the wrap-up for a major region-wide literacy program called “Time To Read” (with a slogan “Reader Pride”, a pun on Saskatchewan’s well-known “Rider Pride”) that I was involved with in my first job after I graduated from library school. It’s crazy to think how much in this photo is now being impacted by […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Luther College 1991 “Midnight Breakfast” (and Happy 5000th Blog Post To Me!)

First off, it didn’t line up perfectly but earlier this week, I posted my 5000th post on this blog after nearly 14 years of daily posts from February 25, 2006 to April 30, 2020 (and fourteen years ago, I *never* would’ve guessed that my milestone 5000th post would be about my daughter, let alone my […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Crowded Concourse Before COVID (October 2016)

So weird to scroll through old pictures and see crowds of people in any of them. This was at the new Mosaic Stadium soon after it opened when they hosted a Rams game as a “test” event…

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Registered Nurses Are Now Required Nurses (April 2013)

During the current pandemic, RN doesn’t just stand for “Registered Nurse” – it stand for *Required* Nurse and our frontline healthcare workers are going above and beyond in the battle against COVID-19 in hospitals, testing sites and other locations around the world. I’m so proud to be married to a nurse who fills this vital […]
