Obviously I wasn’t at this concert but I was at Spirit of the West’s Regina show around the same time (same tour?) after John Mann’s diagnosis and this is a pretty good capture of the mixed emotions of that show – joy, sadness, awe, fear.
Shea and I still have the cheap couches we bought at The Brick nearly a decade ago. They’re now ripped, stained and worn so we decided to take advantage of the Retirement Sale at local furniture institution, Alford’s, to buy some new furniture. It won’t arrive until early December and we’re excited to (finally) get […]
When I was accepted for grad school, we were pretty lucky to find an apartment that a young woman was giving up (I think she’d done a semester and became a “Christmas grad”) so when I started my program in January, we were not only able to assume her lease but buy out a lot […]
One of the ladies in my branches’ “Celebrate Seniors!” program (she’s a model on page 2!) showed me an RPL annual report she recently rediscovered. Amazing stuff…
I’m super excited for the Heritage Classic outdoor NHL game (first regular season NHL game in a non-NHL city ever!) on Saturday night at Mosaic Stadium. I’ve always been a Flames fan since I have a lot of family in Calgary but they were my second favourite team, at least until we moved to Calgary […]

But I’ve always liked coming home to a snow-filled yard, some green and red floodlights, a blow-up decoration […]
We only went once before, for my birthday last year, but were sad to show up at a local restaurant called the Neighbourhood Pour House yesterday to find the doors locked. Shea did some digging when we got home and found an announcement that they’d closed their doors very recently but their flagship restaurant, Jack […]
(This is also the cleanest his room has been in seven years as well since we’d cleared it out while preparing to paint it.)
One of my favourite pictures at our family cottage is this Anne Geddes picture. My dad has nine siblings and since this photo showed ten babies, all ten of the kids in his family were able to sign their name, in birth order, from left to right. I’ve said it before but it always amazes […]
Our family on a plane heading to the Dominican Republic in 2015 (and part of how we afford our holidays? I still wear that same t-shirt four years later!) 😉
