Saturday Snap – Happy Father’s Day!

Everybody in this photo has two doses of vaccine (except our teen who has one and our kid who isn’t eligible yet.) Feels really good to get close together on the couch for a family picture before a delicious steak supper!

Eric Carle, Author of “The Hungry Caterpillar” Among Many Other Classics, Has Died

Very sad news. We had a “Hungry Caterpillar” themed birthday when Sasha turned one that was a huge hit – great decorations (mostly homemade or from the Dollar Store), a “Hungry Caterpillar” dress ordered off Etsy, and her (at the time) five year old brother even did a reading of “The Hungry Caterpillar” using a […]

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, […]

Now That’s How You Celebrate Mother’s Day!

I have very few photos of the three mothers in my life but I did find this one from a few years ago which seems fitting – both as a day to celebrate and also because it captures how wild and crazy all these ladies are!

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Covid Birthday Preparations (April 2020)

Exactly one year ago today, we were preparing for a very unusual Covid-birthday for Sasha, only a month after Covid hit. On April 16, we held a birthday without many of the things you’d normally have with the main thing we missed was a gathering of friends and maybe a table at Chuck E. Cheese […]

My Garage Lights Are Smarter Than I Am

I’m getting more and more interested in smart devices with my most recent purchase being three smart floodlights which I installed in my garage so that the neighbours can enjoy my obsession too! Easter… Calgary Flames Game Night… Anniversary of Humboldt Broncos Tragedy…

Some Quick Thoughts On The Stabbing at Lynn Valley Public Library in North Vancouver

Shea and I often talk about how strange it is that librarians are one of the few professions where practitioners actively visit local examples of their workplace in other communities when traveling (she doesn’t have a strong desire to visit hospitals in other places when on a holiday – that’s for sure!). I think there’s […]
