Reader here! Halloween is here, and I admit, like a lot of people, I love a good scary movie. I grew up in the 1980’s and 90’s, so I’m a child of the slasher flick era. I’m well-versed in the likes of Freddy Krueger, Jason Voorhees, Michael Myers, Leatherface and their many brethren. I know […]

Hey, everybody! Reader here, and this past Friday night, I had the opportunity to do something I’ve never done before. For the first time since he started playing hockey, my nephew Hadley played a game in Yorkton, so I was able to watch him play in my own backyard. Usually, I travel to watch him […]

Reader here once again, and as I previously mentioned, I was off last week, enjoying some rest and relaxation, while helping wrap up harvest on the farm. But that’s not all I got up to. Last weekend, before making the drive back to Yorkton, my parents, brothers, and Auntie Ivy headed to Calgary, to help […]

Reader here!  We’re knee-deep in the spooky season, with Halloween just over a week away. It’s that time of year when haunted houses and horror movies abound, as we look for fun things to scare the bejeezus out of ourselves, our familiies and our pals. But I want to talk for a minute about actual […]

Hey, everybody! Reader here, and it’s good to be back after a little vacation. I spent the majority of my time off home at the farm, just outside of Conquest, not quite an hour southwest of Saskatoon. I crushed some turkey with the fam on Thanksgiving, celebrated my Dad’s 68th birthday, did some running around […]

Reader here, and I admit, I do love this time of year (aside from the inescapable stench of all things pumpkin spice!) Halloween is coming, and everyone is getting their costumes ready, kids are  excited to go trick-or-treating, and, best of all, you can always find a ton of scary movies on TV or streaming […]

Reader here, and earlier this week, I was chatting with producer Scott, who mentioned that he wasn’t looking forward to the traditional yard work that comes with the arrival of fall, especially when it comes to dealing with the falling leaves that need to be cleaned up off the lawn.  He said he may just […]

Hey, everybody! Reader here, and tonight, I’m talking leftovers. On Monday, I decided to fire up the slow cooker, and make a batch of something I haven’t had for a while – pulled pork! I have some of the prepackaged pulled pork seasoning mixes in the cupboard, but instead of going that route, I decided […]

Reader here! I’m someone who is hungry pretty much all the time. Like the mighty Chewbacca, I often think with my stomach. Now, I certainly enjoy a meal prepared with love and care, and great attention to detail, when it comes to flavour and presentation. I appreciate that for sure, whether it’s a great steak, […]

Hey, everybody! Reader here. Lately, I’ve been thinking a lot about home. There are days that I really miss being home on the farm. The pace is slower, it’s so much quieter (if you don’t count the cattle, crickets or frogs), and you can just roam around the yard, pasture and fields without a care […]
