Need A Summer Road Trip? Check Out #Sask Roadside Attractions!

This is a pretty cool initiative by Regina Public Library’s Dunlop Art Gallery and a variety of other partners and agencies to have public art in a variety of communities across Saskatchewan and encourage people to visit as many as they can. From the project’s “About” page: Saskatchewan is geographically diffuse. While half of the province resides […]

Music Monday – “Well they walked that day/The next/And the next/And the water it ran out one by one/Ay mijitos/They looked like dried leaves/Scattered in the sun”

“Migrants” – Sam Baker One of the best managers I’ve known (at least measured by how many quotes of theirs I regularly regurgitate) once said something to this effect: One important thing to remember – those rules, policies, guidelines we have? They’re all just words on paper. They’re arbitrary. And they can be changed completely […]

Thanks Aunt Sandi!

Our annual visit from my Aunt Sandi, who stays with us for a few weeks around Pace’s birthday each year, is over for another year. It was another great visit with lots of laughs, great conversations, delicious meals and we even survived having windows installed in our guest room while Sandi was here. See you next […]

Five Great Things About This Year’s Seasonal Campsite

It’s going to be hard to top how well everything – weather, neighbours who had kids around our kids’ ages, view – worked out at our seasonal site last year. But having spent the May long weekend at our seasonal site at Nickle Lake Regional Park, we’re off to a pretty good start! Shea’s Parents […]

Music Monday – “Well I don’t mind wastin’ my time/On this crazy afternoon/I got sunshine and red wine/A friend of mine takin’ it easy”

For the upcoming summer, we weren’t sure whether we’d end up camping at a provincial park like we did last year or if we’d switch to a regional park. Both have advantages and disadvantages but with Shea’s mom undergoing cancer treatment, it made our decision to go to Nickle Lake Regional Park where her folks have […]

Shea saw on social media that their was a cancellation for the first of the weekly “Supper in the Orchard” events at Over The Hill Orchards just outside Regina so snatched it up.

My Moon Palace Cancun Review #ThePalaceLife @palaceresorts #allinclusive #holiday

Hard to believe we’ve been home for Cancun three weeks as of today! I’ve been pecking away at this review the past few weeks (and actually started drafting it while in Cancun) but having the Easter long weekend gave me time and incentive to finally finish it!
