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 […]

A Few Highlights/Lowlights as the 2019 Camping Season Begins

We spent the weekend in Weyburn getting our seasonal site ready which is why I didn’t post for the past few days. Here’s a few memorable moments from the weekend… Highlight: Sasha blurts out “This is the best day of my life!” as I push her on the swings. Then, the next day, she says […]

Saturday Snap – More My Speed?

Our neighbour built a small ramp to help him move a new appliance in his house. Once he was finished with it, he brought it over and offered it to Pace (but I think he secretly meant it for me in case I ever decide to do a bike jump again!) And speaking of the […]

Music Monday – “Cause here on earth it feels like everything good is missing since you left/And here on earth everything thing’s different, there’s an emptiness”

Death was a dark cloud haunting our summer in a variety of ways. In August, I lost a great aunt who lived in Weyburn at age 86. Earlier in the summer, I drove up to Warman for the funeral of one of my favourite cousins who was only in his 50’s when cancer took his life. He […]

Saturday Snap – One of the Saddest Days of the Year

Packing up our seasonal camp site for the final time this summer and pulling out our camper from the spot that’s been its home for the last five months…

Music Monday – “Everything is better with some cows around/Living in town sometimes brings me down/Let me bestow this western blessing and share what I have found/May you always have cows around”

According to last.fm, this was my most played song of the summer. Having camped with a farming/ranching family on one side and a guy who was not only a farmer/rancher but a cattle buyer at a livestock exchange on our other side, I can understand why! 😉 “Cows Around” – Corb Lund
