Throwback Thursday – Our New rPod182G Camper (August 2014)

Hard to believe we’ve already had our camper for three summers (well, two and a bit since we bought it near the end of the season three years ago.) We’ve had a lot of fun with it so far, travelled to parks across the province and after a quick trip out to Rowan’s Ravine last weekend […]

Throwback Thursday – Practice Makes Dishpan Hands? (July 13, 2006)

In 2006, I took the only Children’s Librarianship class that my library school offered. I did extremely well in it and was one of only six students (out of a class of 20+) that our prof invited for a end-of-class meal and celebration for her most promising students. One of the reasons she saw great potential […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Crashing Waves at the Witches Brew, Hanauma Bay, Oahu, Hawaii (Winter 2002)

This is a great shot (though possibly not the smartest thing to do) of Shea and I from our first trip to Hawaii…

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Writers Guild of Alberta: The First Thirty Years

Saw this posted on Facebook today – a history of the Writers Guild of Alberta’s first 30 years including one passing mention of myself as one of a handful of people who worked as coordinators of the WGA’s Calgary office over the years.

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – There’s A Reason I Don’t Use Print Phonebooks Anymore

I haven’t used a regular phonebook in maybe a decade? But we still get one on our door every year and Shea happened to notice we’re still listed – which is weird since we also dropped our landline and only use our cells. Turns out the phone book still lists our phone number and address […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Dad and His Classic Car (early 1960’s?)

Usually for Throwback Thursday, I find a photo from sometime between 2006 (when I got my first digital camera) and now. But just like last week when I found a pic of Shea and her mom when Shea was quite young, I stumbled upon another older photo in my archives – my dad with what […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Shea and Her Grandma (Early 1980’s)

There needs to be a new word for when you take a digital photo of an old print photo. Anyhow, Shea recently took a snap of this picture to mark the 15 year anniversary of her Grandma’s passing. Most people say that Sasha looks like me but she’s definitely got a lot of her mom in […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Library From Above (August 2012)

One of my favourite things about any library I’ve ever worked in – whether it was some small town library in SE Saskatchewan on the Central Branch of Regina Public Library, is having the opportunity to be in the library before it opens to the public. Magical.
