Friday Fun Link – Aeromexico Trolls Racist Americans

No idea if I’d meet their qualification for this deal but would be a great way to get a discount on a flight to Mexico if I did! 😉  

Music Monday – “Stick it up, mister, hear what I say, sir, yeah/Get your hands in the air, sir/And you will get no hurt, you say”

Countdown is on to our Mexico vacation – less than a month now! Plus the temperature is -35 and falling as I type this so our holiday can’t come fast enough. Maybe this song can warm me up? “54-46 – That’s My Number” – Toots and the Maytals

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Walk Through of Our Room at Moon Palace, Cancun (February 2018)

So in exactly one month, we’ll be on our way to Cancun…but who’s counting? (Well, I guess I’m counting, especially since the weather’s been -40 recently!)

I’ve always loved the framing of this picture…

Beer Me – Advent Beer Calendar Edition

There have been some funny […]

Five Topics of The Holidays

I realised that our social calendars this holiday season were as full as they’ve been in years due to a little miracle called “Pace Gets His Home Alone & Babysitting Certification”. So compared to other years where we had the hassle and expense of lining up babysitters if we wanted to go out, this year, […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Happy New Year (December 31, 2010)

We’ve had a few memorable New Year’s Eves over the years including a trip to Moose Jaw’s Temple Gardens Mineral Spa for NYE nearly a decade ago!
