Throwback Thursday – #tbt – How Did I Get Here? – #10 – Shea

Most couples meet through friends or dating sites or at church or the bar.  The story of how Shea and I met is a bit more random. Her parents were at a funeral and happened to be talking to someone from my hometown.  They mentioned their daughter was starting university in the fall and needed […]

Bowling Birthday

Her actual birthday is on Tuesday but we had great fun at Sasha’s “bowling birthday” today. (And as an aside, as someone who dabbles in creative writing, I love studying the ebbs and flows in the popularity of names from generation to generation.)

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – How Did I Get Here? – #8 – Smalltown Saskatchewan

My standard line about farming is that, for whatever reason, I grew up more passionate about books than barley and more interested in computers than combines. With that said, I feel very fortunate that I grew up in a rural community as part of a farming family. I also managed to luck into getting the […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – How Did I Get Here? – #6 – Comedy

  After another week away from this series (honestly, I forgot I was doing this “How I Became Me” series last week after working a 1-9pm shift and, as I often do, whipping off a zero-effort post to keep my daily post streak alive instead of doing something a bit more in-depth and time-consuming.) Anyhow, […]

Saturday Snap – A Very Appropriately Named Board Game

The kids are obviously living up to the title of the board game by beating their parents pretty handily in a game of “Beat The Parents” tonight. 🙂

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – How Did I Get Here? – #5 – Sociability

Okay, let’s resume the series I started before we left for Mexico where I write about some of the major things that have impacted the person I am today. The first four were my parents, my friends, books and travel (I won’t link to them here as I’ll probably do a master list at the […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – How Did I Get Here? – #4 – Travel

Not sure if I’ll end up blogging much when we’re in Mexico next week but I thought making “travel” #4 in this series would be a good way to head into our holiday either way. The funny part is that my love of travel actually starts from a weird piece of family trivia – I […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – How Did I Get Here? #1 – My Parents

As I mentioned in my post about the various Christmas parties we recently attended, now that I’m basically middle-aged (I’m going to live to be 90, right?) ;-), I’m spending more time thinking about the various things in my life that have led me to where I am today – the influence of family and […]

Saturday Snap – What’s The Worst That Can Happen If Your Mom Is A Nurse and Your Dad Is A Librarian?

I can only hope our son escapes the indignity of becoming Leader of the Conservative Party of Canada! 😉
