Music Monday – “This tiny space is all I need to live in/A simple life’s good for the soul/And I think I’m going to live in a boler/Tow it behind me wherever I go”

I used this song as part of a longer end-of-season montage after our first summer seasonal site three years ago but it deserves a post of its own. (Make sure you read the story about the singer from the Ovarian Cancer “Walk of Hope” page below – very tragic story for such a joyful song.) “Living […]

10 Reasons We Love Camping

As we begin the sad process of closing up our seasonal site for another year, it feels like a good time to do a list of the reasons Shea and I enjoy camping so much: We both camped lots with our own parents growing up so we know how it can create amazing memories for […]

Flipping Through The History Books: Regina Public Library Celebrates 110 Years

One hundred and ten seems like a bit of an unusual anniversary to commemorate but anyhow, the Leader Post does have a great article about RPL and how it’s changed over the years.

Saturday Snap – “God’s Lighting Rig” @reginafolkfest #rff19

We haven’t been to Regina Folk Fest for a few years since we got our RV and now tend to be camping every weekend in the summer. But since it was the RFF’s 50th Anniversary this year, we decided to cut camping short this weekend so we could catch at least part of the festival. […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Public Library Cuts Again? #abpoli (June 2010)

It seems like one of the highest priorities for any conservative government is targeting the funding of public libraries – in Newfoundland (May 2016), in Saskatchewan (March 2017), in Ontario (April 2019), and now in Alberta (August 2019 (although to be fair, Jason Kenney’s Conservatives haven’t cut yet but are withholding 50% in advance of […]

Five Things I Love The Most About Our rPod 182G

Hard to believe we’ve had our 2012 rPod for five years now having bought it used during summer 2014. Through the first couple years of pulling it around the province, one year in a provincial seasonal site and the last couple in a regional park, I continue to feel like we made an awesome decision […]

Camping Wrap-Up

It’s weird how time can sometimes seem so slow (when you’re lazing through most days with some tunes, a good book and tasty beers) and at the same time, so fast (when you have a two week holiday that feels like it only lasted two days.) We had a great two weeks camping with lots […]

Flooded Campsite

When we got to Nickle Lake Regional Park last Friday, we could see that there’d been a big downpour and there was a lot of standing water in some of the lower lying areas of the campground. When we got to our site, there was a bit of water in our site but nothing major […]

Music Monday – “Raising hell with the hippies and the cowboys/They don’t care about no trends/They don’t care about songs that sell”

When we’re camping in Weyburn I can’t help but think how I’m basically the hippie surrounded by a big herd of cowboys. But the point of this song stands – people who seem to be opposites can still get along if they see their commonality in defining their own tastes without giving in to trends […]
