A Few Highlights/Lowlights as the 2019 Camping Season Begins

We spent the weekend in Weyburn getting our seasonal site ready which is why I didn’t post for the past few days. Here’s a few memorable moments from the weekend… Highlight: Sasha blurts out “This is the best day of my life!” as I push her on the swings.  Then, the next day, she says […]

Saturday Snap – “Go Outside to Play and Don’t Come Home Until Supper!”

We didn’t actually tell her that but Sasha’s been doing it old school today – being outside between our yard and the neighbours’ playing with their kids all day. This is a pic I took over the fence.  I wonder if they’re making plans for havoc during Sasha’s birthday party tomorrow???

Music Monday – “There’s the progress we have found (when the rain)/A way to talk around the problem (when the children reign)/Building towered foresight (keep your conscience in the dark)/Isn’t anything at all (melt the statues in the park)/Buy the sky and sell the sky and bleed the sky and tell the sky”

This song is usually interpreted as being about acid rain but on the day Saskatchewan (and three other provinces) has a federal carbon tax enacted, I thought it was appropriate… “Fall On Me” – R.E.M.

Music Monday – “Stick it up, mister, hear what I say, sir, yeah/Get your hands in the air, sir/And you will get no hurt, you say”

Countdown is on to our Mexico vacation – less than a month now! Plus the temperature is -35 and falling as I type this so our holiday can’t come fast enough. Maybe this song can warm me up? “54-46 – That’s My Number” – Toots and the Maytals

Massive Ice Storm Hits Saskatchewan #skoutage

Pretty crazy day. The power was out from around 9am until early afternoon or even later across most of the southern half of the province.  Most businesses, schools and other organizations (including the library) closed down (except for a couple branches that had power) for the day. Makes you appreciate that this is not a […]
