Well, it looks like winter has actually arrived in southern Saskatchewan. 2019 has proven itself to be a strange year weather-wise starting off with drought like conditions in the spring, then lots of spotty rain over the summer, a short autumn, then rain and snow, and now just snow making harvest 2019 dreadful. Normally this […]
Do you find headlights are a lot brighter than they ever used to be? Admittedly I don’t drive a great deal at night and if I do it’s typically around the city where street lights are present. I was driving home from Alberta the other night, cruising down the Trans Canada Highway, and to me […]
It certainly feels good to be back at it today. Unless one actually goes somewhere I’m not sure how people can take two weeks off and not go crazy! My plans to travel to Winnipeg over thanksgiving fell through, unfortunately, due to a very temperamental Mother Nature in Manitoba, but I had just as much […]
More and more families from all over Canada and the world are choosing to call southern Saskatchewan home and they bring with them wonderful traditions, music, and food for the rest of us to experience. The Assiniboia and District Chamber of Commerce will once again be showcasing many of those cultures, including First Nations culture, […]
I remember as a kid my parents getting really excited to see the great Don Williams at the Conexus Arts Centre many years ago. I’m talking the late 1990’s here when it was still called the “Centre of The Arts”. I’m estimating it was around 1998 specifically. They asked if I’d like to go and […]
There are three things I absolutely despise in this world. Rude people, spiders, and heights. This past Sunday I had to deal with one of those three things. Heights. I’ve noticed I have this branch that was extending over my roof and fearing that it may be rubbing the shingles, I decided I should get […]
It was a great weekend for all us Rider fans in Saskatchewan and across the country after that very defensive game Saturday night against the Bombers. The 21-6 win cemented the Riders in number one, which was the subject of hundreds of tweets Saturday night and Sunday morning. The ultimate test comes this Friday against […]
As a person gets older and more wise one begins to learn of the importance of grocery shopping lists! As I’ve gotten older I’ve learned I’m becoming a worse grocery shopper and should really take the time to come up with a list before I head to the store. The past week has especially been […]
Mother Nature is unpredictable as always and she certainly made her presence known yet again this weekend, dumping snow all over Alberta and southern Saskatchewan. Despite the fact it’s near zero with falling snow and drizzle some people just can’t part with the shorts. There’s always that one person who will wear shorts until the […]
I love these gas station bathroom contests that are held every year to see which gas station in Canada has the nicest public washroom. It’s literally a feel good contest because I don’t know a single person who enjoys cleaning up, or sitting in, someone else’s bodily filth. Ewwww! It’s not just gas station bathrooms […]
