Throwback Thursday – #tbt – I Don’t Think I Told Him To Grow A Beard But He Did Anyhow! (October 2017)

Seven years ago, the mother of a young patron at the branch I was working at asked if her son could meet with me to learn more about being a librarian. We set a date to meet, had a great conversation and I thought that was the end of it. So I was surprised when […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Happy 80th Birthday Dad!

I didn’t get a chance to make an updated video so this one I made four years ago during quarantine will have to suffice to celebrate my dad’s milestone 80th birthday. Love you lots! (At least we all look four years younger in these photos!)

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Las Vegas Hat (July 2021)

We went to Shea’s uncle’s funeral in July 2021 and afterwards, gathered at their farm to visit.  The sun was brutally hot so I ended up borrowing a ball cap from Shea’s uncle’s supply and since he didn’t need it anymore, Shea’s aunt let me keep it! Didn’t think to take it to Vegas during […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Elvis Is My Uncle? (May 2011)

My cousin in Calgary was surprised when some friends arranged for an Elvis impersonator to come to her 50th birthday celebration. This coincided with my aunt and uncle, also in Calgary, having their 50th Anniversary so it became a bit of a mini-family reunion. A picture of all aunts and uncles present made me imagine […]

A person I grew up with in Indian Head was a couple years younger than me (she was my sister’s age) but her family and ours were friends so I hung out with her too. She grew up to be a professional clown who performed in the New York, New York Cirque Show in Vegas, […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – First Dementia Signs (February 2018)

One good thing about being an obsessive journal keeper since right around the time I graduated high school (and that those journals, started in WordPerfect, have now all been digitized and are completely searchable.) So that’s how I know that the very first reference I made to my mom showing signs of dementia was in […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Snorkelling in Hawaii (January 2012)

So glad the tour guide on this snorkeling tour didn’t actually need a bribe to make sure he didn’t drop our water camera when he swam underneath us to take this unique photo! 😉
