Nostalgia

Hey, everybody! Reader here, and now that the calendar has flipped over to December, it’s really starting to feel like Christmas time is truly here. We had our staff Christmas party on Saturday night, and even though it was the last day of November, and December technically arrived during the revelry, I just have a […]

Reader here! I’m really starting to get into the Christmas spirit, although I admit I’m way behind on getting my apartment decorated for the holidays. I’m hoping to remedy that over the next few days. But one thing I really need to do is get my Christmas tree up. There’s something about the tree, the […]

Reader here, and today was maybe the first day this year that truly felt like Fall. It was cloudy and gloomy, rainy and cold. Just not the nicest day to be outside. One of those days when you just want to stay inside, curled up underneath a blanket, and stay cozy and warm. When I […]

Hey, everybody! Reader here, and I want to know… What’s your go-to, when you need a good laugh? For me, I have TV shows, like my all-time favourite “The Simpsons”and sketch comedy classic “Mr. Show,” along with hilarious movies like the original “Naked Gun,” “Airplane,” “Anchorman,” and the underrated gangster spoof “Johnny Dangerously.” But for […]

Happy Halloween, everybody! Reader here, and it’s that one day of the year that everybody gets to enjoy some thrills and chills, dress up in fun and creative costumes, and enjoy all those delicious treats. It’s always a good time, and it doesn’t matter how old you are. Whether you’re a kid, dressing up to […]

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 […]
