Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Montreal Picnic (June 2006)

One great thing about our year in Ontario for library school was we tried to get away as much as we could on weekends and during semester breaks to various destinations in the area. Probably our biggest trip was during a semester break when we took the train to Montreal.  A highlight was throwing together […]

Saturday Snap – Our Only Visit To Mexico During Covid…

Buy a six pack of Sol at the liquor store, some limes at the grocery store, and put beach videos on the TV. 🙁 (But hey, at least we’re being safer than overly entitled snowbirds!)

Saturday Snap – How To Simulate a Tropical Holiday in Covid Times

Normally, Saturday Snap is a pic I’ve taken but I came across this on social media and decided to post it… We’ve been fortunate to do a winter holiday for the past few years so now that we’re into February, it’s starting to hit me that this won’t be happening this year (doesn’t help that […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Asessippi Carnage

Four years ago this week, we were on our way to a ski trip in Manitoba. It was hard to know what the next four years would bring but we listened to Trump’s “American Carnage” Inaugural Address on the drive up and that provided a big clue. Such a relief that he’s gone.

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Isla Mujeres Ferry (And A Selection of Things I Miss In Covid Times) (March 2018)

This was taken on the ferry to Isla Mujeres during a trip to Cancun in March 2018.  Amazing how much a single photo can capture how much our world has changed… 1. International Travel 2. Being in a Crowd 3. No one wearing masks 4. Somebody singing in front of people 5. Sightseeing Excursions

Throwback Thursday – Beer Coaster Collage (1995 to now)

I went through a phase in college where I collected beer coasters.  I never did anything with them but after rediscovering them in a container when we moved to our new house, I decided to at least mount them on an unused corkboard. (Of course, since we’re in a new house and our tastes are […]

Music Monday – “I’m sure you’ve heard it all before/But you never really had a doubt/I don’t believe that anybody/Feels the way I do about you now”

Hard to believe Oasis’ “(What’s The Story) Morning Glory” album is 25 years old being released in the fall of 1995. Oasis was basically a one-hit wonder in North America for most people but I was fortunate to be in England in fall 1995 on a University exchange which was during the height of the […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – My Favourite US Trip? (January 2012)

After last week’s post thinking back to the last time I think I traveled to the US, I thought it’d be fun to also highlight what was probably my favourite US trip ever for another “Throwback Thursday” post. I was very fortunate to have parents who loved traveling and growing up, I got to travel […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Minot Wal-Mart (April 2012)

With the Canada-US border closed for the foreseeable future, I was trying to figure out the last time I went to the States. For awhile there in the early 2010’s, I’d say we ended up going about once or twice a year, either to Williston which is just over the border or Minot, which is […]
