Throwback Thursday – #tbt – BA – English

Often when I’m out at the University of Regina, I’ll wander the halls of the ol’ alma mater to see what’s changed and what’s stayed the same. In a very “Dead Poet’s Society” moment, I came across my photo on the wall during a visit a few years back.  Look at that young whippersnapper, all […]

Google Maps Street View Player – Pike Lake to Outlook

Inspired by the first portion of our route home today – from Pike Lake Provincial Park half an hour south of Saskatoon where we spent the weekend camping on to the Outlook Regional Park where we stopped for lunch – I found a web site that allows you to “drive” between two locations using Google Street View images. […]

Saturday Snap – Privatized Liquor Stores In Action #yqr

As a general rule, I tend to prefer public ownership of essential services – utilities including power, natural gas and telephones; grain marketing (especially as opposed to ownership by Middle Eastern corporations) and, of course, liquor. 😉 Under the Brad Wall government, Saskatchewan has opened a couple private liquor stores recently including one in a former steak house […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – A Most Canadian Library Sign (July 9, 2008)

When I worked for a regional library system, many of our libraries were located in unusual locations – many co-located with a town office, a school that had been closed, a fire hall, a laundry mat. And of course we had one that was in a hockey rink – whose main doors became the entrance […]

Gone Camping…

Likely no posts for most of the coming week as we’re going camping… …to the same campground where Shea was a bridesmaid in a beautiful wedding a couple summers ago!

Music Monday – “Unlock my body and move myself to dance/Moving warm liquid, flowing blowing glass”

Went on our inaugural camping trip of the summer this past weekend at the beautiful Echo Lake Provincial Park. Due to a mispronunciation when Pace was little, these fine treats will forever be known as “smorts” in our family! 😉   Until I looked at this photo when we got home, I never noticed that […]

Music Monday – “Cottonwood fallin’/Like snow in July/Fireflies poppin’/Like the fourth of July.”

Country music always makes me think of summer and camping and all that good stuff wrapped up all in one. Literally…
