As she gains more independence, we’ve occasionally been letting Sasha walk to the nearby convenience store to use her allowance money to buy a treat.
Apparently that independence also extends to letting everyone in the family know exactly who bought the unique Warheads-flavoured soda!
I feel like posting this picture online is enough to get a call to the authorities! 😉
As with cancer drugs and other research breakthroughs that sound promising, there are lots of times that exciting results come to nothing.
But it still boggles my mind at how amazing science is to make those advances in the first place.
My grandma was never diagnosed with Alzheimer’s/dementia but had many signs of it near the end.
As science progresses, every generation has better meds and treatments and knowledge – I can only imagine what my kids will get to experience!
Booked Sweet Dreamz Slumber, a local company that sets up tents with lights, banners, serving trays outside the tent, a ceiling light show device and more for Sasha’s 10th birthday party sleepover.
Was cool to have them arrive one-by-one and go downstairs to hear things like: “Oh. My. God.”, “This is AMAZING!”, “So cool”.
I can only imagine what the folks at REAL and Tourism Regina would do if they had a dick-shaped iceberg appear on Regina’s mighty shores!
By most accounts, Sask Party MLA Mark Docherty was a decent dude.
I know I always enjoyed my interactions with him – when he would come to the library I was working at for events or programs or when I would bump into him at community events or whatever.
Given his background and resume, I’ve even heard him called “The best candidate the NDP never had” (I’ve also heard there’s a story behind why he ran for the Sask Party instead of NDP but isn’t there always a story?) 😉
I also met with him and his assistant ahead of the “Drop Everything and Read” protests after the Sask Party unsuccessfully targeted public libraries with severe budget cuts in 2017. (Funny story – my main memory of that meeting was reassuring his assistant that it wouldn’t be violent protesters throwing bricks through windows; instead it would be books read on walkways!)
Anyhow, tonight Noor Burki won the NDP nomination to be the NDP candidate in Regina Coronation Park and, with Docherty stepping down and triggering a byelection, I hope that the NDP can retake this seat which was a longtime NDP stronghold.
