Nostalgia

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, 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 […]

Hey, everybody! Reader here. Now that kids are into the first full week of school, everyone is truly back into the routine. But, especially for kids in high school, like those in the older grades, this school year might mean something new and potentially nerve-wracking. The time-honoured ritual of the high school dance. I’m so […]

Reader here, and well, summer vacation is over. Students in Saskatchewan headed back to school today, while some Manitoba kids will be back in class tomorrow, with the rest heading back later in the week. It’s always such a bittersweet thing to bid farewell to summer. No bedtimes or alarm clocks, endless days to hang […]

What’s up, everybody? Reader here, and while I was away on holidays last week, I got to do something I hadn’t done in a while. I made my way to the “Snake Pit,” (a.k.a. SaskTel Centre in Saskatoon), to catch the Saskatchewan Rattlers in action, as they played host to the Brampton Honey Badgers. I’ve […]

Hey, everybody – Reader here! Last week, I was sitting around home, and I found myself surfing the interwebs, and wound up on YouTube, as I often do. I’m not sure how it came up on my suggested videos, but there was one from my younger days, when I was still at home watching Sesame […]

Reader here! I was recently going through my book shelves, and found one of my favourite books from when I was a kid, from a great Canadian author, by the name of Gordon Korman. The book, as you can see here, is called “I Want to Go Home!” It came out back in 1981, and […]

Reader here! Yesterday, I posted a video chatting about my love for board games in general, and one in particular… That’s right. I loooooove Scrabble! A lot of games are fun, but I find have too many rules to keep straight. Not Scrabble. Unless a word is a proper name, place or contraction, if you […]

Hey, everybody! Reader here. Remember when the funny pages were a thing? You know, back in the pre-internet days, when the daily newspaper was a regular part of daily life? Sitting around at the farm over the Easter weekend, and chatting with my family, we got reminiscing about some of our family that has since […]

What’s up everybody? Reader here! And lately, I’ve been feeling a bit nostalgic. We all have those special items, that take us back to a time when life was much simpler, and and give us those warm and fuzzy memories. Here’s something that does that for me, and it is literally “warm and fuzzy!” This […]
