Throwback Thursday – #tbt – One Year Ago, I Had Shingles (June 2022)

…replaced on my roof about a year after a major hailstorm ripped through north Regina and punched machine-gun holes in most houses’ siding in our neighbourhood.  (Our next door neighbours just got their siding done this week!)

Biggest Challenge: “We’re a small city with a relatively big stadium.”

Yes.  This is quite the challenge we face here in our little prairie city that’s run by people who want to pretend we’re a much bigger city like Calgary or Edmonton or Winnipeg so they push to build giant state-of-the art arenas.  And ball stadiums.  And the best football stadium in the country while showing […]

Saturday Snap – “Sasha’s, Not Yours”

As she gains more independence, we’ve occasionally been letting Sasha walk to the nearby convenience store to use her allowance money to buy a treat. Apparently that independence also extends to letting everyone in the family know exactly who bought the unique Warheads-flavoured soda!

Saturday Snap – 50 Foot Leash = Good Investment

Bought Charlie a fifty foot leash and it’s a great way to take advantage of the huge green space behind our house and let him basically be “off-leash” without actually being off-leash (now if we could convince the various other dog owners that use the space that it’s not actually an off-leash park, that would […]
