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 […]

Throwback Thursday – Near Heart’s Content, Newfoundland (July 2011)

With Shea in Halifax for a conference this week, it’s got me thinking of our last trip to the east coast when we visited Newfoundland for 10 days to attend a friend’s wedding and be tourists checking out the amazing sights. We’d briefly talked about me going to join her for a few days before […]

Throwback Thursday – Image Cable Installer (Summer 1991)

A bit of a different Throwback Thursday this week. I recently posted about how death was a dark cloud this summer with a handful of people we know and/or were connected to having died. Unfortunately, that trend has continued into September with my parents letting me know that the father of one of my best […]
