Retro Saturday Snap – Prairie Sunset

When my wrist is healed and I’m up to typing longer pieces again, I’m hoping to write a long percolating post about how the Sask NDP can make in-roads in rural Saskatchewan. But until then, had a great visit at Shea’s aunt and uncle’s on Saturday night…

I Don’t Want To Brag Or Anything…

…but our entry in the “Decorate for Canada Day” contest at Nickle Lake actually inspired the judges to add and award a second place prize (hat *and* t-shirt, baby!) after they couldn’t decide between ours and the people who ended up winning first place (folding chair *and* folding table). A couple subtle notes about our […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Protesting at the Saskatchewan Legislature, Then & Now (February 11, 2000) #skpoli #yqr

Need A Summer Road Trip? Check Out #Sask Roadside Attractions!

This is a pretty cool initiative by Regina Public Library’s Dunlop Art Gallery and a variety of other partners and agencies to have public art in a variety of communities across Saskatchewan and encourage people to visit as many as they can.

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Rider Game at Taylor Field (July 2012)

Thinking of our tour of the new Mosaic Stadium yesterday, here’s a pic from a game we went to a few years ago in the old Taylor Field (not sure how we got such great seats – think we bought them last minute off Kijiji?)

Mosaic Stadium Tour

Had a great “Behind The Scenes” tour of Regina’s Mosaic Stadium tonight, courtesy of the alumni association for Luther College at the University of Regina and Luther High School. We weren’t allowed into the Riders’ locker room (only the Visitors’ locker room) but we did get to take a family photo in front of the […]
