Although my mother-in-law battled a serious form of cancer for most of last year, she’s doing much better and, knock on wood, everyone else in our immediate family is doing well healthwise from Sasha who’s six years old to my dad who’s seventy years […]

Unfortunately, I Know I’d Be Easier To Catch Than The Road Runner!

I make the occasional run out to Indian Head and around the Qu’Appelle Valley and after my parents won a few free oil changes at the local car dealership and offered me one, I had an excuse for another road trip yesterday after I got the kids off to school. The free oil change turned […]

Putting The “Bin” In Cabin

A husband and wife who are retired farmers decide to convert the grain bins they can’t sell into very unique rental cabins. I wasn’t much of a farmer growing up but I did shovel out a few bins in the summer, often in extreme heat (if it’s hot outside, it’s *extremely* hot in the bin) […]
