Music Monday – “I will come back here, bring me back when I’m old/I want to lay here forever in the cold I might be cold but I’m just skin and bones/And I’ll never love England more than when covered in snow”

I still consider the single most joyful stretch of my entire life – the people, the sights, the experiences – just pure living in the moment and openness to the world that greatly […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Jan Lake Lodge (July 2014)

With the wildfires burning in northern Saskatchewan (and really, across much of Canada’s north), I can’t help but think of the handful of times I’ve been able to travel to the north of the province for vacations or even work. This was a fishing trip we did with Shea’s family in 2014.

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Isla Mujeres Ferry (February 2020)

Shea and I have done three or four day trips to Isla Mujeres when we’ve stayed at all-inclusives in the Cancun area over the years. And every time, we come home and say “That was the best part of our trip – we should stay there for our whole trip sometime!” Isla Mujeres is a […]

Friday Fun Link – Vegas 1992

My first trip to Vegas was around 1992-1993, my second was around 2010 and my most recent was earlier this year. So pretty wild to look at a video from around the time of my first visit and compare it to how much has changed in the last thirty or so years!
