Toolbox Memories
My Grampa, my dad’s father, built this for me when I was a young boy, about 8 or 9 years old. The toolbox came with a saw (original still in the box), a hammer, screw drivers, pliers and a number of small glass jars containing various sizes of nails. I still have some of those Read More …
My Anchor Holds within the Veil – love unrationed
A great blog entry that relates well to my tattoo.Read on www.loveunrationed.com/2018/04/27/my-anchor-holds-within-the-veil/ We have this certain hope, like a strong and unbreakable anchor holding our souls to God himself.

Tattoo Day
After several temporary tattoos and some procrastinating, today was the day for the real thing. After a brief recommendation and a quick look at his web site I book with Jay at Twenty Twenty Tattoo Studio in Niverville. Upon arrival the very easy going Jay welcomes me and I feel relaxed already. After all this Read More …
Snake Bite
A story from the Cottage Build. So, one day after my dad and I had finished working for the day we were relaxing in the RV and participating in what was commonly known in our family circles as “the cocktail hour”.

Lifted from Daily Day, so true and encouraging. Today’s email could just be this wonderful little verse from the classic George Strait song.

Tempus Fugit

In the beginning… back in 2004/2005 when we were on a family camping trip I suddenly realized that the boys were growing up and it felt like they didn’t “need me” as Read More …
Social Distancing
One of the few things I actually like that has come about because of Covide-19, social distancing. I’ve never been a fan of large crowds or being pressed together in a line to get into or out of some venue with a bunch of strangers. I need my space. So, being spaced out is quite Read More …
G & T
Gin and Tonic that is! This is a memory from my teenage years while at our cottage on Brereton Lake in the Whiteshell. It was the custom at the time when families got to gather for dinner that there would be a cocktail hour. I suspect that I was underage but my parents allowed it Read More …
The Piano
This is The Piano. It’s been in our home for over 20 years now and yesterday it gave me a very bitter sweet surprise. When I first met The Piano it was in the home of family friends, the McKenzies, who lived on Niakwa Road. Our families would visit back and forth over the years Read More …
