Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Minot Wal-Mart (April 2012)

With the Canada-US border closed for the foreseeable future, I was trying to figure out the last time I went to the States. For awhile there in the early 2010’s, I’d say we ended up going about once or twice a year, either to Williston which is just over the border or Minot, which is […]

“Mask” To School

Pretty different “back to school” photo this year – masks being the most obvious change but also missing the tree in our old front yard that was the backdrop for “first day of school” photos since Pace started kindergarten (since we still live in the neighbourhood, I suggested taking the kids there for a stealth […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Snow at Shutdown (March 2020)

Happened to this picture from early March which gives a sense of how long we’ve been living with Covid.  Given that we shut down just before March 20/21, we’re technically into our third season of living with Covid – winter, spring and now summer.   And there will likely be many more seasons of Covid-life to […]

Who’s In My Covid Bubble?

Now that we’ve been going out more for shopping, staying in our seasonal campsite since the start of June, I’ve been back to work for over a month, and we’ve even been brave enough to eat at a couple restaurants (only patios though, not inside!), I thought it might be interesting to think about who’s […]

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 […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – “We are closing for at least two weeks, maybe more” (March 16, 2020)

This was the sign one of my staff hastily wrote during the frantic last day my library was open to the public (which ironically, I suspect was one of the busiest circulation days in my branch’s history as people took *armloads* of books – perhaps realising our project of “at least a couple weeks” was […]

Plexiglass?  Check. Signage Promoting Safety and New Rules?  Check. Visible people counter?  Check. Stanchions?  Check. Revamped shelving and computer areas?  Check. Ready to reopen?  Ready as we’ll ever be! 🙂
