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, […]

The Covid Continuum

As Saskatchewan adds more restrictions, mostly on retailers in the post-Christmas period, I’m thinking a lot about how everyone is somewhere different on what I think of as the “Covid Continuum”.

Covid 19 Vaccine Arrives in Saskatchewan!

Have to admit Shea and I both had tears in our eyes watching the first two healthcare workers be vaccinated this evening in Regina (in the very hospital Shea works in and has worked in all year without a break) after what has been a long, strange, stressful year. There are a lot of reasons […]

Music Monday – “But that world is gone/It’s all disappeared/It’s just me and the ponies/For Christmas this year”

With the announcement of stronger Covid restrictions for Saskatchewan, just in time for Christmas, this song has been going through my head non-stop… “Just Me and These Ponies (For Christmas This Year)” – Corb Lund

A Memorable Way to Decorate a 2020 Christmas Tree

Between the four of us, we’ve accumulated numerous masks over the last few months. Shea’s dad suggested we could use them to make a very memorable 2020 Christmas photo (and this doesn’t even include all the ones we have stored in vehicles and stuffed in jackets and left at work!)

Saturday Snap – A Delayed Housewarming Gift

My parents dropped off a very cool housewarming gift the other day – a Century Family Farm plaque our family received on the 100th anniversary of my great-great grandfather homesteading our family farm in 1883 – framed in barn boards from that same farm. We got the plaque in 1983 (I think the same year […]
