The Meskanaw Trestle - built in 1929 by the Canadian National Railway is Saskatchewan's longest wooden railway trestle bridge. The last train crossed it in 1979. Drove past it today (Hwy 41) & it's really something to see! #saskatchewan

The Olympic curling 'Cdn double touch' scandal, complete with F-bombs, is fascinating! The game has sure changed. I remember back in our small town Saskatchewan curling club, the only scandal of this size was that there weren't enough cup holders along the ice for everyone's rye & coke lol #curling

Went to the Ukrainian Co-op to stock up & get more stamps on our Sausage of the Month cards. Who will fill theirs first? This is basically Heated Rivalry, the Regina edition 😂😂

2 years ago we hauled a piano onto a frozen pond near Rouleau SK for a video shoot. It was BITTERLY cold but also really 'grey' which was what we needed so we pushed through. Let down your guard & be YOU. Be a bright red suit on a grey day. This is "Sing Your Song" www.youtube.com/watch?v=xyBc...

BOOK LOVERS! Just finished this; a real page turner. it's based on the author's mom/dad in the British MI6 secret service in Moscow in 1958 at the height of the cold war. Mom was on a deep cover mission sniffing out an embassy traitor. KGB followed her everywhere. Mind-blowing + so well written!
