(By the way, things are still the same with my granny. No major improvements or setbacks.)
Tonight Marc and I took the kids to the Prince Albert Exhibition. We do it every year, but this was the first year that we let Luke go on rides. Madeline is just on the borderline between the kiddie rides [...]
We’d been home from our vacation barely 24 hours when my mom called me to say that she was in the emergency room with my granny who’d just had a major stroke. I rushed to the hospital and spent the next several hours there. Granny was not awake. Three different doctors came in, none with [...]
We got back this afternoon from our week-long vacation. Good, good times. Vacation posts to follow. But I have to show you this one, taken Wednesday afternoon, down 20 km of gravel and 10km of farmer’s field, to one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever seen:
That’s Lake Diefenbaker in the background.
And the reason [...]
Here is the email I sent to Tim Hortons’ customer service this afternoon. And here are links to Randall’s Tim Hortons Frustrations Posts. (I think that’s all of them. He mentions Tim Hortons a lot on his blog…) I think I should start a “Product Complaints” category on my blog.
Hi there,
My [...]
Saturday we head out on our summer vacation. If you’ll recall, last summer our vacation consisted of four days in small town Saskatchewan. And it was awesome. Last year we hit some of the western part of the province. And this time we’re going south. South, south, south. Pretty much to the US border, but [...]
When Madeline was three she had a cupcake with red icing. Then that afternoon she threw up. She made it off the laminate floor in the living room and we almost got her to the bathroom linoleum. But, of course, all of the throw-up landed on our new carpet. And it was red, red, red.
Fast [...]
Just before we went to bed last night Marc found out that a girl he went to Bible College with had lost her husband in a car accident in June. Her husband was 33. She’s around Marc’s age with a four year old daughter, two year old son, and a baby due in November. I [...]
I was putting something on Olivia’s bookshelf today when it struck me: “I don’t think we put Olivia’s picture in the paper for ‘Babies of 2007′. Or wait… Was she born in 2008 or 2007? Is it 2008 right now? What month is it? Maybe I haven’t missed it! Oh wait. It’s July. January was [...]
Is not finally getting all of the piles of crap on every table in every room cleared out and put in their appropriate place.
Nor is it a washed and scrubbed kitchen and dining room floor.
What I do owe my family today is a nap for myself this afternoon, so I can get rid of the [...]
I’m sure I double checked the boxes at Costco, but somehow we came away a week ago with a giant box of size 2-3 Pull-ups instead of the size 4-5. Frustrating to say the least, since we so rarely go to Saskatoon these days.
But, you say, “Luke is only barely 3! Shouldn’t he fit the [...]
