Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Feeling Sick? Stay Home! (June 2020)

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Our Canine Camping Neighbour, Teddy

Our camping neighbours got a new dog at the start of Covid named Teddy.  Sasha was *very* excited to meet him!

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – EPL vs. CPL (Aug 2019, Feb 2022)

I’ve had the pleasure of visiting both the newly built Calgary Public Library Central Branch (in 2019) and newly-refurbished Edmonton Public Library (in 2022). And you know what? Newly built or refurbished, both are incredible libraries in their own ways with the main thing they have in common is both cities embracing the value of […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Working Man (October 2011)

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – “When I Was Five, I Walked The Fence While Grandpa Held My Hand” (April 2012)

[At this time of year, I don’t know why I even bother trying to keep up my “a post a day” habit since we’re out at the lake every chance we get and since the Internet is crappy out there,  I couldn’t post very easily, even if I wanted to.  Then I get back and […]

Throwback Thursday – Putting A Stamp On One Of My Most Memorable Library Moments (Sometime In Late 2021)

I’ve been fortunate to have all sorts of happy, sad, and memorable moments working in the library over the years.

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Grandparents at My Parents Wedding (October 1971)

Last week, I mentioned an aunt had given me a variety of old photos she’d scanned. Here’s a great one from my parents’ wedding featuring all four of my grandparents. So many thoughts and memories looking at this photo – the things my grandparents saw ranging from World Wars to Great Depressions; memories of various […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Grandpa Peet in Uniform (circa 1945?)

After missing the last couple years for obvious reasons, an aunt who visits us from Kelowna for a few weeks every spring is here now. One of her hobbies is genealogy and related, she likes to scan and catalogue old photos. She brought a thumb drive with hundreds of old family photos which means I’ll […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Happy 15th Birthday Pace!

Hard to believe this video montage I made of pics from when Pace was born is from fifteen years ago! (Also hard to believe it’s my most viewed video of all-time with nearly 50,000 views but I attribute that more to using a Loretta Lynn song than people being interested in pics of Baby Pace!) […]
