I said yesterday’s visit to Mexico would be our only one but we enjoyed it so much, we decided to go again to celebrate Valentine’s Day! 😉 (We’re not the only ones missing beach vacations apparently but this is pretty extreme!)
Buy a six pack of Sol at the liquor store, some limes at the grocery store, and put beach videos on the TV. 🙁 (But hey, at least we’re being safer than overly entitled snowbirds!)
Religion takes many forms and one of the strangest is the tribalism that often happens, even within the *same* community. This CBC article looks at the historic divisions between those who are North of Dewdney (NOD) and those who are in the south part of Regina. These divisions aren’t unique – every city I’ve lived […]
Normally, Saturday Snap is a pic I’ve taken but I came across this on social media and decided to post it… We’ve been fortunate to do a winter holiday for the past few years so now that we’re into February, it’s starting to hit me that this won’t be happening this year (doesn’t help that […]
Four years ago this week, we were on our way to a ski trip in Manitoba. It was hard to know what the next four years would bring but we listened to Trump’s “American Carnage” Inaugural Address on the drive up and that provided a big clue. Such a relief that he’s gone.
As Saskatchewan adds more restrictions, mostly on retailers in the post-Christmas period, I’m thinking a lot about how everyone is somewhere different on what I think of as the “Covid Continuum”. I’d say the range for this starts with anyone who’s absolutely minimized their outings since March – maybe only leaving the house to buy […]
Obviously Mexico and hot holidays are on my mind lately – yesterday, I posted about how a picture of the Isla Mujeres ferry evoked some thoughts about how much life has changed in the past year and then I found myself seeking out videos of those brave (foolish?) souls who are still venturing south for […]
This was taken on the ferry to Isla Mujeres during a trip to Cancun in March 2018. Amazing how much a single photo can capture how much our world has changed… 1. International Travel 2. Being in a Crowd 3. No one wearing masks 4. Somebody singing in front of people 5. Sightseeing Excursions
I went through a phase in college where I collected beer coasters. I never did anything with them but after rediscovering them in a container when we moved to our new house, I decided to at least mount them on an unused corkboard. (Of course, since we’re in a new house and our tastes are […]
After last week’s post thinking back to the last time I think I traveled to the US, I thought it’d be fun to also highlight what was probably my favourite US trip ever for another “Throwback Thursday” post. I was very fortunate to have parents who loved traveling and growing up, I got to travel […]
