Throwback Thursday – Happy Anniversary to Me! (September 2008)

I started at Regina Public Library on September 8, 2008 so this year is my ten year anniversary at RPL. Traditionally, people have thought of thirty years as a “typical” career in a workplace and though I worked for a decade in another sector before librarianship and though I also spent a couple years in […]

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, […]
