Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Echo Lake Summer (Summer 2017)

A video I cut of the many highlights of the first year we had a seasonal camp site at Echo Lake Provincial Park.  A year of Covid really makes you appreciate all these little moments – having various family and friends to our campsite, shared meals, laughs around the campfire, sleepovers, meeting random strangers.

Summer’s Getting Closer!

We knew my in-laws were going to pull out our camper to our seasonal site as soon as the park was open to campers today to get a head start on the coming weekend rush. We did not know they were going to dewinterize it for us, get the power going, put the slides out, […]

$39 Million Bora Bora Private Island

Don’t think I’ll ever afford this but perhaps they need an on-site librarian? 😉

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 […]
