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 […]

(Belated) Music Monday – “He’s acting tough and taking names/And shuttin’ us down/But at least we got something to talk about/When Monday rolls around”

Putting The “Bin” In Cabin

A husband and wife who are retired farmers decide to convert the grain bins they can’t sell into very unique rental cabins. I wasn’t much of a farmer growing up but I did shovel out a few bins in the summer, often in extreme heat (if it’s hot outside, it’s *extremely* hot in the bin) […]

Saturday Snap – The Best Part of Camping Without Daddy?

Shea and Sasha went out to our seasonal site this weekend while I stayed in the city to work and Pace stuck around to play video games visit his Aunt Sandi who is visiting from Kelowna. Shea sent me this picture and said Sasha told her it was the best camping ever because “daddy isn’t […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Tree of Tears (July 2015)

About four years ago, we came back from a camping trip to find that a neighbour’s tree had split and was being removed. One of the branches hung over the fence into our yard and Sasha had some tears when she realised she’d no longer have a swing. I had tears too but they were […]
