Throwback Thursday – Near Heart’s Content, Newfoundland (July 2011)

With Shea in Halifax for a conference this week, it’s got me thinking of our last trip to the east coast when we visited Newfoundland for 10 days to attend a friend’s wedding and be tourists checking out the amazing sights. We’d briefly talked about me going to join her for a few days before […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Did We Spot Our Next Destination, @HyattZivaCancun From The Air A Year Ago? (March 2018)

Who knew when we went parasailing at the Beach Palace (a sister resort to the Moon Palace where we were staying) last winter that we’d end up taking a picture of the resort we’d be staying at the following winter? But almost as soon as we got home from our amazing two-week getaway last year, […]

@MiaReefIsla Mia Reef Hotel, Isla Mujeres, Mexico

This was one of the most unique hotels we saw during our visit to Mexico last March. For example, while all beaches in Mexico are considered public property, this hotel is on a small island of its own, connected to Isla Mujeres by a short bridge, which means that this is one of the few […]

Retro Saturday Snap – Prairie Sunset

When my wrist is healed and I’m up to typing longer pieces again, I’m hoping to write a long percolating post about how the Sask NDP can make in-roads in rural Saskatchewan. But until then, had a great visit at Shea’s aunt and uncle’s on Saturday night…

Saturday Snap – Some Aunts & Uncles at Cousin’s Funeral

Did an eight-hour round trip from Weyburn to Warman, SK for my cousin’s funeral on Saturday and was very glad I did – not just to be there to celebrate the life of my cousin of course but also because the sad reality is that often, its only weddings, milestone birthdays and funerals where you […]
