Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Did We Spot Our Next Destination, @HyattZivaCancun From The Air A Year Ago? (March 2018)

Who knew when we went parasailing at the Beach Palace (a sister resort to the Moon Palace where we were staying) last winter that we’d end up taking a picture of the resort we’d be staying at the following winter? But almost as soon as we got home from our amazing two-week getaway last year, […]

@MiaReefIsla Mia Reef Hotel, Isla Mujeres, Mexico

This was one of the most unique hotels we saw during our visit to Mexico last March. For example, while all beaches in Mexico are considered public property, this hotel is on a small island of its own, connected to Isla Mujeres by a short bridge, which means that this is one of the few […]

Friday Fun Link – Calgary Flames Start Season With Two Exhibition Games in China

Talk about a long road trip!  

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…

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Camping Before the rPod (July 2011)

Shea’s parents had a motorhome that we borrowed a few times including a trip to White Bear in southeast Saskatchewan…

Saturday Snap – Some Aunts & Uncles at Cousin’s Funeral

Did an eight-hour round trip from Weyburn to Warman, SK for my cousin’s funeral on Saturday and was very glad I did – not just to be there to celebrate the life of my cousin of course but also because the sad reality is that often, its only weddings, milestone birthdays and funerals where you […]

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. From the project’s “About” page: Saskatchewan is geographically diffuse. While half of the province resides […]

Music Monday – “Well they walked that day/The next/And the next/And the water it ran out one by one/Ay mijitos/They looked like dried leaves/Scattered in the sun”

“Migrants” – Sam Baker One of the best managers I’ve known (at least measured by how many quotes of theirs I regularly regurgitate) once said something to this effect: One important thing to remember – those rules, policies, guidelines we have?  They’re all just words on paper.  They’re arbitrary.  And they can be changed completely […]

Thanks Aunt Sandi!

Our annual visit from my Aunt Sandi, who stays with us for a few weeks around Pace’s birthday each year, is over for another year. It was another great visit with lots of laughs, great conversations, delicious meals and we even survived having windows installed in our guest room while Sandi was here. See you next […]

Five Great Things About This Year’s Seasonal Campsite

It’s going to be hard to top how well everything – weather, neighbours who had kids around our kids’ ages, view – worked out at our seasonal site last year. But having spent the May long weekend at our seasonal site at Nickle Lake Regional Park, we’re off to a pretty good start! Shea’s Parents […]
