Music Monday – “It’s been too hard livin’/But I’m afraid to die?/Cause I don’t know what’s up there/Beyond the sky

It’s election season and though I’m posting this on Wednesday night instead of Monday like I’d hoped (kinda busy day!) so I know the results of the provincial election, the NDP’s changing fortunes have been on my mind (not to mention various other elections in other provinces, municipally and of course the massive US election […]

Blogging will be very limited for the next few weeks as I focus on the important things in life such as reading, walking the dog, barbecuing hot dogs and other such pursuits.

Music Monday – “And if I weren’t a flatland boy, I’d say I have a hill/A hill that I will die upon if the climb don’t get me killed/If there were such heights around here for a guy to lay his pride/Maybe I’d rest before I died if I weren’t a flatland boy”

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Fair Haired at the Fair (June 2013)

We loved that a traveling fair used to set-up in the parking lot of a mall near our house every June since it was cheaper, less busy and more convenient than Regina’s main exhibition and fair in August not to mention a great way to celebrate the end of the school year.

Saturday Snap – Jorts!
