Secular Sunday – He/Him Is Risen

It is absolutely [chef’s kiss.gif] that this writer for Briarpatch chooses to announce they are trans, their name is now Alex, and they are using he/him pronouns while using #HeIsRisen as a hashtag on Easter Sunday. Long time Birrellheads may have noticed that my byline has changed. This is because I'm trans! I'm using he/him […]

Friday Fun Link – EF “Touch of the Tropics” Costa Rica Tour

Heading to the airport in the middle of the night as Pace is leaving for a 10 day Educational Foundations (EF) tour through school.  Hard to believe the day has arrived!  

Dildo, Newfoundland’s Slogan Is…

“There’s No Place Like Dildo” Can you imagine?  So booorrrring! Did they not realise what a goldmine of a city name they were sitting on compared to most Canadian cities?  The right slogan and boom – right to Jimmy Kimmel! (Gotta be honest – when Shea and I were in Newfoundland for a wedding about […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Our Little Leprachaun (March 2016)

 

Happy International Women’s Day!

I need to get a more recent photo of the four most important women in my life! Words can’t capture how much all four of them do in so many ways (yes even Sasha!) to make all of our lives better.

Drive From Cancun Airport to Tulum

The resort we were just at was almost all the way to Tulum (which is two hours south of Cancun.). Our resort was about an hour and a half south of the Cancun airport.  

Mexico Rainbow Challenge – Day Seven – Rainbow

Since I said Indigo/Violet were being combined in my Rainbow Challenge, I was hoping to do a final post for day seven of some multi-coloured drinks – the Bob Marley and the Toucan we had at Moon Palace were the drinks I had in mind… Unfortunately, the drinks I got weren’t quite as perfectly formed…

Mexico Rainbow Challenge – Day Six – Indigo/Violet

Going to combine the last two colours of the rainbow in today’s post because: a) can anyone tell me the difference between indigo and violet? and b) if you can, do you think I can find two drinks that fit those two shades of purple? Her: Caribbean Princess (not on cocktail menu but I think […]

Mexico Rainbow Challenge – Day Two – Orange

Him = Bay Breeze Her = Mai Tai (And I think it was the lighting or the cups or maybe even my shirt absorbing all the orange in the room. But you’ll have to trust me that these drinks were more orange than yellow – honest!)  

Happy Valentine’s Day, Shea!

Thanks for putting up with me for 20+ years!
