Going camping for a couple weeks starting at the end of this week so likely won’t be doing daily posts since the Internet out there is pretty crappy.
See you in August!

I’m Not A Vegetarian But…
…sometimes there’s nothing better than a well-made vegetarian burger! 🙂
Music Monday – “But I want old men making my whiskey/I want old men singing my blues/I want old men teaching my horses/’Cuz there’s just some things, young men can’t do/Like the old boys do”
The new Corb Lund album is an instant favourite, not least because, as I turn 47 later this week, this song dedicated to the value of the more seasoned among us resonates pretty heavily! 😉
“Old Men” – Corb Lund
Saturday Snap – A Different Kind of Barn Raising?
Our next door neighbour at the lake showed up with a barn-shaped shed that he said was his Covid project with his kids (much more ambitious than *my* Covid quarantine project which was eating my body weight in chips and beer!) 😉
Anyhow, it was a huge job to get it placed, taking about ten people an hour to get it into place but it looks good and adds a nice “prairie” touch to the area where we camp.
Throwback Thursday – #tbt – “We are closing for at least two weeks, maybe more” (March 16, 2020)
This was the sign one of my staff hastily wrote during the frantic last day my library was open to the public (which ironically, I suspect was one of the busiest circulation days in my branch’s history as people took *armloads* of books – perhaps realising our project of “at least a couple weeks” was a bit optimistic!)
Now, nearly four months later, my branch is once again open. I didn’t think to put up a “Welcome Back!” sign today (“We Are Opening!”) but it was rewarding to have some many regulars come in, tell us how much they missed us, and even take pictures in front of the library to celebrate such a momentous occasion!
Ready To Reopen
Plexiglass? Check.
Signage Promoting Safety and New Rules? Check.
Visible people counter? Check.
Stanchions? Check.
Revamped shelving and computer areas? Check.
Ready to reopen? Ready as we’ll ever be! 🙂
Coke-a-Knee?
When your son is a smart-ass, this is what you get when you ask him to bring you a Kokanee at the campsite…
