Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Stuck in Snow (January 2010)

We’ve had a lot of snow this year and one big advantage of our new house is having an attached garage so we don’t have to shovel/scrape/dig out like at our old house (which had a detached garage but which we rarely used since it was: a) full of junk b) behind the house and […]

Friday Fun Link – Bernie’s Mittens Memes #WhereInTheWorldIsBernieSanders

While others on the dias wore thin trench coats and fancy outfits, Bernie Sanders demonstrated his ever-practical side, showing up on a cold Inauguration Day with a heavy parka and some very memorable mittens. A single photo of him sitting alone and looking like his usual grumpy self became a worldwide meme as people inserted […]

A Visual Representation of 2020 for Christmas?

Sasha tested out her new Christmas makeup on me and I realised this process made a good analogy for 2020 in general… * it was unexpected, sort of weird and occasionally scary * it looks like somebody got beat up (or possibly has a communicable disease) * I had my eyes closed for most of […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – 10 Horrifying Things I Saw Watching Family Home Movies From the 1970’s

As previously mentioned, we went to Indian Head to celebrate my parents’ 49th wedding anniversary last weekend. As part of the trip down memory lane, we ended up watching some old home movies one night. My dad regularly filmed holidays and parties and family gatherings with an 8mm camera when we were kids so, when […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Early 80’s Birthday

A friend who used to live on my street (and may have been one of my first “girlfriends”?) posted this to her Facebook page recently. I honestly thought “maybe we dressed like that because…80’s?”.  But turns out it’s from her birthday (how old are we in this pic – 7? 8?) and the “unique” fashion […]

Coke-a-Knee?

When your son is a smart-ass, this is what you get when you ask him to bring you a Kokanee at the campsite…
