Saturday Snap – Happy Anniversary to Me!

I had to work this weekend so Shea took the kids to spend a couple days enjoying the beautiful +13 weather at her parents’ house in Weyburn. I can’t decide if getting to go to the Bushwakkers for supper tonight (which we rarely get to since it’s a pub with a “no kids allowed” policy) […]

Music Monday – “You can get yourself clean/You can have a good meal/You can do whatever you feel…”

Guess where we spent Family Day? 😉 (This is becoming an annual tradition – I think we also went last year since “the Y” does a great thing on Family Day by opening their doors and having free swimming (which we skipped this year) and a variety of other free activities – play structure, bouncy castle, […]

Music Monday – “When your day is long/And the night, the night is yours alone/When you’re sure you’ve had enough/Of this life, well hang on”

Today is “Blue Monday”, allegedly the saddest day of the year due to a mix of distance from Christmas, weather and credit cards coming due (although it’s actually just a random day picked to help sell winter vacations.) I thought about posting “Blue Monday” by New Order but that song actually makes me quite happy. So this is […]

Music Monday – “From Alto Cedro, I go towards Marcané/I get to Cueto, head for Mayarí”

Back from a week in Cuba and I have this song stuck in my head. (Funny tangent about how things come around – a good friend of mine was a big fan of the Buena Vista Social Club when they exploded in the mid-to-late 1990’s.  But at the time, I was too much into pretty standard […]

Enjoying Christmas supper… Sasha got cool sunglasses for the beach and a new hoodie from Grandpa and Grandma… She also loved her princess dress-up outfit…   Pace had a parkour […]

Music Monday – “He told his niece/’It’s Christmas Eve, I know our life is not your style,’/She said, ‘Christmas is like solstice/And we miss you and it’s been awhile'”

Happy Solstice! What a perfect song for today’s Music Monday post as this song compares and contrasts traditional Christian holiday celebrations with those who are not… “Christians and the Pagans” – Dar Williams
