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 […]

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…

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 […]

Saturday Snap – Top o’ the Morning

We have a little alcove near the entrance of our house where we’ve hung a “Century Family Farm” plaque that my family got in 1983 and which my parents gave to me as a housewarming gift after having it framed in barn board. At Christmas, I decided to fill the space underneath with some decorations […]
