Flooded Campsite

When we got to Nickle Lake Regional Park last Friday, we could see that there’d been a big downpour and there was a lot of standing water in some of the lower lying areas of the campground. When we got to our site, there was a bit of water in our site but nothing major […]

Music Monday – “Raising hell with the hippies and the cowboys/They don’t care about no trends/They don’t care about songs that sell”

When we’re camping in Weyburn I can’t help but think how I’m basically the hippie surrounded by a big herd of cowboys. But the point of this song stands – people who seem to be opposites can still get along if they see their commonality in defining their own tastes without giving in to trends […]

(Belated) Saturday Snap – Disappointed I Didn’t Win The Canada Day Contest This Year

I can’t find a reference to it on my blog which is sort of surprising since I’ll take any validation I can get! But anyhow, last year, the campground we have a seasonal site had a Canada Day decorating contest and since we were new and wanted to make a good impression, we went all […]

(Belated) Saturday Snap – Giant Checkers

Having a fun day at Nickle Lake’s activity shack (which, almost unbelievably, they chose to call “The Beaver Shack” during a contest last summer!) However, it shall always be “Nickle Make” to me after the name I submitted! 😉

Putting The “Bin” In Cabin

A husband and wife who are retired farmers decide to convert the grain bins they can’t sell into very unique rental cabins. I wasn’t much of a farmer growing up but I did shovel out a few bins in the summer, often in extreme heat (if it’s hot outside, it’s *extremely* hot in the bin) […]

Saturday Snap – The Best Part of Camping Without Daddy?

Shea and Sasha went out to our seasonal site this weekend while I stayed in the city to work and Pace stuck around to play video games visit his Aunt Sandi who is visiting from Kelowna. Shea sent me this picture and said Sasha told her it was the best camping ever because “daddy isn’t […]

Music Monday – “You can set my house on fire, baby/You can turn it into cinder and smoke/’Cause this house is mighty cold and I feel like/Melting all the snow away”

The first single from Tyler Childer’s upcoming album was my most played track of the long weekend… “House Fire” – Tyler Childers

Retro Saturday Snap – Feet to the Fire

Now that camping season has started, I’m into that part of my blog calendar where I’m less likely to keep my “daily post” streak alive but may also come back at the end of the weekend and do some “retro” posts backdated to the days I missed. For example, it’s Monday night as I type […]
