Summer’s Getting Closer!

We knew my in-laws were going to pull out our camper to our seasonal site as soon as the park was open to campers today to get a head start on the coming weekend rush. We did not know they were going to dewinterize it for us, get the power going, put the slides out, […]

Another “First Sign of Spring”?

A bug landed in my beer…feels like I’m camping already! 😉 (And yes, I scooped it out and kept on drinking – no tiny bug is going to make me waste a $5 craft beer!)

Music Monday – “‘Cause I’ve been lost on them back roads/And many times, I’ve gone blind/Losing faith in my family/Had drew me out my damn mind”

Shea and I are hooked on “Yellowstone” right now and a big part of that is realising how many songs on the soundtrack are already part of the “Camping Faves” playlist we listen to non-stop every summer (including a few by Ryan Bingham who also stars in the show as a singing cowboy.) “Southside of […]

Music Monday – “I still remember momma walking down the living room stairs/And daddy saying with a smile, “that’s my girl right there”/They had their share of ups and downs/And I saw the best, and the worst, and the work, and the worth it.”

It’s a long way from the stage of the “Cancer Jamboree” at Nickle Lake outside Weyburn (where we’ve camped for years and now have our own seasonal campsite) to the American Country Music Top 20 airplay charts…   “Somebody Like That” – Tenille Arts

Saturday Snap – Sticky Situation

How does this happen? Well, one bottle is our home bottle, one was brought back from the lake at the end of summer and is still not used up and one was accidentally opened by a kid who doesn’t look very hard to see if there are any other open bottles anywhere!

Music Monday – “Four years old/Riding that new bike/No training wheels/Holding on real tight/Oh baby/Everyone falls”

Not sure what it means when you’re getting music recommendations from your mother-in-law but that’s how I first heard of this singer who also happens to be an RN that my mother-in-law worked with prior to her retirement. Also important to note that this video has some scenes shot at Nickle Lake Regional Park where […]

Life Is Better At The Lake!

Before we go away on any extended holiday, I usually post some sort of “Gone Camping/Gone Beaching” message to let people know I probably won’t be posting much. This time, I completely forgot to do that but I suspect any regular reader of this blog figured that’s probably what’s up if/when I drop off the […]

10 Things That Make You A Bad Campground Guest

I did a list of “10 Things That Make You A Bad All-Inclusive Guest” previously so with a summer of camping slowly drawing to a close once again, I thought I’d do a similar list for camping (obviously, mostly to do with seasonal RV camping, not back country tenting which is a whole different ballgame!)… […]

Saturday Snap – Decorative Chair

Showed up at our campsite last weekend to find a neighbour had surprised us with a custom decorated chair that had been converted into a plant holder (plants courtesy Shea and her green thumb!)

Music Monday – “She misses Ragweed like I do/And her mom already thinks I’m trash/Along with her second stepdad too/She’s kind of weird and a full-time goon/Yeah, but she misses Ragweed like I do”

Can’t believe I’ve never posted this song before – so good! “Ragweed” – Koe Wetzel
