Throwback Thursday – #tbt – RIP Cousin

While camping a couple summers ago, we got word that, after years battling a variety of health issues, one of my dad’s ten siblings had started to fail and passed away soon after. Considering that dad was from a family of ten kids and all of his siblings had managed to reach their late 60s, […]

Happy Father’s Day!

I didn’t think to get a picture with all the dads who were around our camp site this weekend but did get separate pictures of Shea’s parents (including her dad) and my parents (including my dad *and* me) so we’ll count that as a worthwhile Father’s Day post!

(Sunday) Snap – Sasha and Grandma

I missed posting yesterday since we were camping and my cell data was close to going over so I was trying to minimize anything I did online (er, some would point out that’s probably a good approach to camping in general!) 😉 Anyhow, by not posting a Saturday Snap, I ended up taking a great […]

Friday Fun Link – @officialRPL Mother’s Day Video

This RPL Mother’s Day video is great! It makes me excited for RPL Father’s Day video next month where various dads who work for the system try not to get emotional while reading passages from “Fight Club” to our children. 😉   Just kidding – this video is great and I know I can’t get […]

Calgary Librarian Gives Up City Career To Run Family Farm in Saskatchewan

Technically, I could also give up my library career to go back to run our family farm.  But since I’m still scarred from misjudging the width of a swather and driving it into a power pole as a young man, I think I’ll stick with books and computers instead of barley and combines! 😉 Anyhow, […]
