We’ve had a few memorable New Year’s Eves over the years including a trip to Moose Jaw’s Temple Gardens Mineral Spa for NYE nearly a decade ago!

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Christmas Over The Years

I whipped together this montage fairly quickly right before Christmas to show everybody on Christmas Eve. It’s not my best work – my first attempt ended up with the music I picked not working properly. Then I tried to use YouTube’s Creative Commons music but couldn’t for the life of me figure out how to […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – “We Don’t Know Joy Without Experiencing Sadness” – Some Thoughts on a Tough Year

There’s no two ways about it – this has been one of the toughest years of our lives. Shea and I have dealt with a family member being diagnosed with, treated for, and living with all the fallout from a fairly serious form of cancer, numerous deaths of people who were connected to us – […]

Throwback Thursday – I Feel A Bit Guilty About This Photo Knowing Shea Was 8 1/2 Months Pregnant… (March 2013)

…but I think it was her choice to do this, thinking it might help hasten Sasha’s arrival! 😉

Throwback Thursday – A Different Kind of Church (April 2007)

In my first librarian job, my boss and I had the opportunity to oversee the move of a crowded small town library into a soon-to-be-vacated nearby church. This photo was during our first visit to the church to see if it would be a workable space once all the pews and other church holdings were […]

Throwback Thursday – Saskatchewan Promotional Video (1985)

Someone posted this on social media and I thought it’d be good for a bit of a different take on my usual Throwback Thursday personal photos…

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Still A Favourite Halloween Memory

This is still one of my favourite Halloween memories of all time. When Pace was around five years old, he was really into Bat-man. He had his costume all picked out so the night before Halloween, I figured out a great way to surprise him. I did a quick late night trip to the nearest pop-up […]

Throwback Thursday- #tbt – Grasshopper Cafe, Amsterdam (Fall 1995)

Figured this would be a good week to dig deep in the photo albums for a shot from a weekend trip to Amsterdam our host college arranged while I was on a semester exchange to England in 1995. (That England trip will probably fill 7/10 spots if I ever do a “Fondest Pot Memories” list […]
