One Final @RoryAllenMusic Video From The RP Anniversary Gig (And A Few Thoughts on “The King”)

I have lots of Elvis memories from growing up. When I was a kid, I used to spend hours listening to my parent’s record collection.  My dad was a big Elvis fan and passed that love of “The King” on to me via the various Elvis records he owned. I used to argue with one of […]

Saturday Snap – Katepwa Pier Crew

Always a bittersweet day when we do the many end-of-season chores at our family cottage at Katepwa Lake.  We were out yesterday to bring in the piers, boat track and sea doo stand, clear out the water lines, cut the grass, load the boat, etc. etc. It was great to have one of my funniest, favouritist cousins […]

Fall on the Prairies

My dad’s (and I suspect most farmers’) favourite season…

An Unintentional Trip Down Memory Lane

Contemplating a Luther College Dorm Room Shea and I rarely take three weeks’ vacation at a time – we usually spread our holiday allotment out through the year – some in the winter (especially in years when we can afford a hot holiday), a week or two in summer (sometimes together and sometimes not) and then […]

Saturday Snap – More From The Top of Regina

Here’s a few more shots from the TD Bank reception which we attended with my mom and dad on top of Regina’s new Hill Tower III Friday evening. Great three piece jazz band for entertainment… Panoramic of the view facing south… Wearing Rider green to a TD Bank reception serves a double purpose!

Friday Fun Link – The Tallest Building Between Winnipeg and Calgary

…and we were hanging out on top of it earlier tonight (though I know it’s hard to tell how high we are from the angle of this photo!)

Happy Father’s Day!

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Dad and His Classic Car (early 1960’s?)

Usually for Throwback Thursday, I find a photo from sometime between 2006 (when I got my first digital camera) and now. But just like last week when I found a pic of Shea and her mom when Shea was quite young, I stumbled upon another older photo in my archives – my dad with what […]

Friday Fun Link – Redditors Share The Best “Don’t Tell Mom” Moments They’ve Had With Their Dads

A mixture of fun, funny and sad.
