Music Monday – “Everybody’s got the fever/That is something you all know/Fever isn’t such a new thing/Fever started long ago”

I’m home with a sick kid today (plus had ice cream for breakfast as I have a sore throat myself!) so a rough couple of months in terms of family health continues… Ironically, we only dealt with Covid once (Pace for a week in early October) and, knock on wood, no one else in the […]

Secular Sunday – Decorated For Christmas Today…

The top decoration is one my mother-in-law stuck onto the back of my car at Christmastime years ago (and yes, I think I drove around for a week or more before noticing it!) The other one is a camping neighbour from when we had a seasonal site at Echo Lake Regional Park. I made the […]

The World Is Nuts (aka What’s Keeping Me Sane These Days?)

One of the questions I answer in my annual “End of Year” meme questionnaire is “What kept you sane this year?” It’s a bit early but it’s been a rough year (and a very rough month) for a variety of reasons I may or may not expand on someday. But anyhow, I thought I’d post […]

Friday Fun Link – Charlie Echo Shows Toque Who The Boss Is

I didn’t blog this week as I ended up having an unexpected journey through our overloaded healthcare system the past few days with an ill family member. I may write more about my experience at some point (short version: healthcare system in shambles, healthcare workers are amazing!) but for now, I just want to focus […]

Saturday Snap – Happy 51st Anniversary To My Mom and Dad

No surprise plane ride like last year for their 50th. But still had a fun and memorable visit for my parents’ 51st Anniversary last weekend…

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – First Time Driving? (July 2012)

Not sure if this was Pace’s first time driving with my dad at our farm but at any rate, hard to believe he now has his learner’s license!

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – “When I Was Five, I Walked The Fence While Grandpa Held My Hand” (April 2012)

[At this time of year, I don’t know why I even bother trying to keep up my “a post a day” habit since we’re out at the lake every chance we get and since the Internet is crappy out there, I couldn’t post very easily, even if I wanted to. Then I get back and […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Undergrad Announcement (May 1996)

With Pace getting his learner’s this week, I’ve got a bit of a “milestone” theme going. So here’s the newspaper announcement (remember those?) from when I graduated with my BA…
