Who’s In My Covid Bubble?

Now that we’ve been going out more for shopping, staying in our seasonal campsite since the start of June, I’ve been back to work for over a month, and we’ve even been brave enough to eat at a couple restaurants (only patios though, not inside!), I thought it might be interesting to think about who’s […]

Five Thoughts As I Enter My Fourth Month of Quarantine

I did a list like this about a month ago and so I thought I’d do another one as I’m now a few days into my *fourth* month of quarantine to see what’s front of mind these days… 1. Public libraries *finally* have a date for permitted opening which will be Phase Four Stage Two […]

Happy Father’s Day!

Nice to enjoy the day with my father and my son (who is modeling the robe I got as a Father’s Day gift)…

Throwback Thursday – Locked in The Camper (August 2015)

I told this story soon after it happened but now, five years later, it also qualifies to be a “Throwback Thursday” post as well. At the time, we were at Shea’s parents’ campsite getting ready for supper and no one was paying much attention to Sasha in the camper as people bustled in and out. […]

Throwback Thursday – Barn Board Accounting (April 1932)

This is pretty special – my dad was getting some barn boards from our farm to use in framing projects and found one where my grandfather had done some accounting as he sold grain to others (according to dad, he remembers the grain being sold by the five gallon pail.) My brother-in-law stained the board, […]

Happy 13th Birthday to Our Teenager!

Hard to believe our first born turns 13 today! His timing is good too – his younger sister was very angry that she had to have a virtual birthday last month but now that covid restrictions are loosening up a bit and we can have “family bubbles”, Pace got not only an in-person instead of […]

Saturday Snap – A Virtual Birthday Card For Grandpa

Coronavirus is affecting us in ways big and small but one of the worst things is not being able to see the people you love in person anymore. So me and the kids threw together a “Virtual Birthday Card’ for Grandpa Ray as a placeholder until we get to see him in person!     […]

Saturday Snap – Last Pre-Quarantine Photo (and My Personal Covid Timeline/Photo Essay)

There’s a challenge on social media to post the last picture on your camera roll before you entered quarantine. I thought I’d take that challenge but go a step further to post a few photos and significant dates from my own personal COVID timeline… My Personal COVID Timeline Late November – early December 2019 COVID […]

Saturday Snap – Staycation

Maybe not quite as nice as the all-inclusive Mexican resort I posted yesterday. But our “staycation” at the recently re-branded Atlas Hotel & Waterpark in Regina with both sets of grandparents was quite a fun way to spend Saturday night!

[Spoilers] The Entire Emperor Palpatine Story

The entire Star Wars universe can be pretty confusing, especially when there are years if not decades between films. Seeing the arc of a single character through the whole series does a good job of explaining different moments and motivations…
