Saturday Snap – Farewell to Aunt Sandi

My mom’s sister has returned to Regina from Kelowna to stay with us for a month every spring pretty much every year since Pace was born.  But since mom was diagnosed with dementia, these visits have become a lot more meaningful.

I Stayed at the Mirage For The Last Time

It’s pretty cool that we got to stay in this iconic hotel earlier this year and doubly so now that they announced it will be closing in mid-July…

Music Monday – “And if I weren’t a flatland boy, I’d say I have a hill/A hill that I will die upon if the climb don’t get me killed/If there were such heights around here for a guy to lay his pride/Maybe I’d rest before I died if I weren’t a flatland boy”

I’m old enough to remember using purple gas on our farm.

Got to attend Shea’s nephew’s grad party on Saturday after work for some delicious potluck, catching up with various family members we hadn’t seen for awhile, and even got a kiss from the grad during photos!

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Little Kids, Little Problems; Big Kids, Big Problems (April 2013)

When Sasha was born, we had a little baby shower in the Outreach Unit and a couple coworkers who had much older kids shared a piece of wisdom I’ve thought of often: “Little kids, little problems; big kids, big problems.”

Little problems like teething and dirty diapers eventually get replaced by driver’s licenses and love drama and worries about marks for university and so on.

Everyone says it but I wish I’d enjoyed these moments even more…
