Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Helicopter Ride in Hawaii (January 2012)

I took mom and dad on a charter flight for their anniversary last week. It was their first time in a small Cessna but not their first time in the air as I also took them on a helicopter ride during a family trip to Hawaii in 2012 (though given the company we used had […]

Friday Fun Link – “The Years Have Flown By” 50th Anniversary Charter Plane Ride

I alluded to this in Thursday’s post when I wrote “the years have flown by” about my mom and dad’s 50th Anniversary. But I didn’t want to give away the big surprise I had planned for their anniversary gift knowing they read my blog. Honestly, it was a bit tough trying to come up with […]

“The Walls Are Closing In On The Unvaccinated”

An Angus Reid poll showed that 75 per cent of Canadians agreed with the statement “I don’t have a lot of sympathy for people who chose not to be vaccinated and then got COVID-19.” In B.C., 53 per cent favoured making vaccines mandatory in public places to make life harder for unvaccinated people, while another […]

Happy (Third) Anniversary (of the Year), Shea!

Sure, we have three anniversaries but today happens to be one of them so I thought I’d mention it! 🙂 For those who don’t know how we ended with *three* wedding anniversaries, here’s the story… First off, due to the red tape and expense of a legal destination wedding at the time, we chose to […]

Weyburn, Sask Driving Tour

Not sure if I’d call it “best city to live” as this video claims but it’s where I spend most of my summer (well, at a nearby lake with occasional trips into town for groceries, booze and camping supplies) but it’s where my parents got married, my wife graduated high school, and my in-laws currently […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Echo Lake Summer (Summer 2017)

A video I cut of the many highlights of the first year we had a seasonal camp site at Echo Lake Provincial Park. A year of Covid really makes you appreciate all these little moments – having various family and friends to our campsite, shared meals, laughs around the campfire, sleepovers, meeting random strangers.

RIP Mick Burrs (Steven Michael Berzensky) 1940-2021

PICTURES OF THE DEAD (from “Dark Halo”) The dead leave us only images of themselves: souvenirs in washed out colours, dried petals pressed in family albums, shadows that stain our papered walls. They abandon us in our rooms, teach us how to converse with dust, will not let us forget them. But in our glistening reeds […]
