Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Peet Family Reunion (July 2013)

Earlier this summer in my post about a cousin that passed away, I mentioned how I was fortunate to know the many members of the Hammond side of the family quite well because I grew up in the same town as the matriarch of our family. For a variety of reasons, I never got to […]

Retro Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Broken Leg (October 2009)

I know I posted a similar pic last week but I’m not feeling too creative these days. And yes, I did end up “fixing” my cast with duct tape at one point.

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Broken Leg (October 2009)

Breaking my wrist last week means I made it nearly a decade since my last broken bone (and Pace remains equally horrified/fascinated by my latest injury!)

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – RIP Cousin

While camping a couple summers ago, we got word that, after years battling a variety of health issues, one of my dad’s ten siblings had started to fail and passed away soon after. Considering that dad was from a family of ten kids and all of his siblings had managed to reach their late 60s, […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Protesting at the Saskatchewan Legislature, Then & Now (February 11, 2000) #skpoli #yqr

From my personal journal, February 11, 2000: Settle in to bed (well, a sleeping bag under a cafeteria table) about midnight. Oh, when we get back from grabbing our sleeping bags, I offer to bring a coffee to the security guard and end up having a big talk with him – about how he got […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Rider Game at Taylor Field (July 2012)

Thinking of our tour of the new Mosaic Stadium yesterday, here’s a pic from a game we went to a few years ago in the old Taylor Field (not sure how we got such great seats – think we bought them last minute off Kijiji?)

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Ferris Wheel Smile (June 2013)

It’s become a bit of a family tradition to take the kid (and now “kids”) to a small parking lot fair that sets up every June at the Northgate Mall, close to our house, instead of the bigger, busier, more expensive Queen City Ex later in the summer. Here’s a pic from when Pace was […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – My Only Ontario Vote (November 2006) #ElectionDay #OntarioVotes2018 #onpooli

With the Ontario provincial election happening today, I’m reminded of the time I unexpectedly got to vote in that province. It was while I was at Western completing my Master’s of Library Science degree and it happened during a federal byelection in London North-Centre which featured Elizabeth May parachuting in to try to win the […]
