Friday Fun Link – Sask Regional Park Sets Record For Longest Line of Water Inflatables

Hopefully the regional park we camp at tries to break this record that was recently set by another park in Saskatchewan. I know we’ve been practicing for this moment for years…    

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Our Canine Camping Neighbour, Teddy

Our camping neighbours got a new dog at the start of Covid named Teddy.  Sasha was *very* excited to meet him!

Maybe I Should’ve Bought A Carpenter’s Square Too?

Went to a few garage sales while camping in Weyburn and one person had set-up a Square account to accept credit card payments! (And what’s $8 get you at a garage sale these days?  A brand new tarp still in the plastic, a power bar, an extension cord, and a multi-head screwdriver!  I did okay […]

Gone Camping (Part Deux)

Friday Fun Link – Happy Canada Day?

I accidentally ripped this decoration off a kid’s bike during a Bike Parade for Canada Day at Nickle Lake when my father-in-law and I were trying to work around it to help him get his chain back on. But I feel like this photo may be a metaphor for Canada in some ways too…

I’m The King of Twitter! (At Least the Ice Cream Truck Section)

Kinda funny that my most successful tweet of all-time (at least based on Likes) is a throwaway reply to a heart-warming viral thread about ice cream trucks… A couple at the campground where we spend summers have an ice cream cart. He said that it was parents & grandparents, not kids, who came running when […]
