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

A Few Camping Highlights

I briefly thought of backdating a bunch of photo posts, one for every day of our recent camping holiday but realised that’d be a lot of work (not to mention more evidence of my self-diagnosed OCD regarding my “must post daily” goal.) Anyhow, I thought I’d post just a few highlights in a single post […]

Music Monday – “I will swing my axe, don’t let the flames go down/Carve up some of that kindlin’/There’s plenty of wood around”

Back from a couple weeks’ camping and this song is running on repeat in my head, partly because my soft librarian hands suffered a few blisters from swinging an axe on occasion… “Axe” – The Steel Woods

Camping Countdown

Going camping for a couple weeks starting at the end of this week so likely won’t be doing daily posts since the Internet out there is pretty crappy. See you in August!

Saturday Snap – A Different Kind of Barn Raising?

Our next door neighbour at the lake showed up with a barn-shaped shed that he said was his Covid project with his kids (much more ambitious than *my* Covid quarantine project which was eating my body weight in chips and beer!) 😉 Anyhow, it was a huge job to get it placed, taking about ten […]
