Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Moving A House Off The Farm Into Weyburn (Fall 2005)

It was about ten years ago that Shea’s parents picked their house up off the farm in Creelman, SK and moved it in to a lot in Weyburn. Pretty amazing thing to have witnessed…  

Random Thoughts on the Paris Terrorist Attack

There was a major terrorist attack in Paris on Friday.  I have some thoughts… Part of the reason attacks like this have such an impact is that our education system has failed to overcome our innate human nature.  I saw this summarized in a great graphic that points out how there are over 6 million Muslims […]

Five Highlights From Two Weeks of Camping

Back from nearly two weeks’ straight of camping… We spent a week up at Good Spirit Provincial Park near Yorkton, had a few days back in Regina to re-stock over the August long weekend (very strange to be driving in to Regina as an endless stream of campers were heading out!)  We then went down […]
