Life Sundown in the Paris of the prairies Shawshank, August 1, 2020August 1, 2020 Another day done. About the only thing I really did today was walk down to the grocery store to pick up the local newspaper. It comes out every Friday, but I was actually busy yesterday and didn't have the time to pick it up before the town rolled up the sidewalks. That's Main St, by the… Continue Reading
Life And the river don’t sleep when the water runs cold Shawshank, August 3, 2020August 3, 2020 Good morning, happy Monday everyone! Everyone loves a good Monday, don't they? I'm sitting here enjoying coffee, and waiting for Shady Acres to finally wake up. It's a Provincial holiday here so that means dad is home, and I think he has plans for use to work on the garage today. I helped to put that… Continue Reading
Interesting and sophisticated Shawshank, August 3, 2020August 3, 2020 This damn song has been stuck in my head for days. https://youtu.be/uWu4aynBK7E Let’s see if it works here. Continue Reading
Life Twelve men broke loose in ’73 Shawshank, August 5, 2020August 8, 2020 So last night, I said good night to The Editor, watched the end of ‘Chopped’, and figured ok, let’s go read a page or two, and go to bed. Wishful thinking. I read maybe 4 pages, and my mind said “hey dipshit, you should clean”. And clean I did. I organized my books… Continue Reading
Life His tiny knotted heart Shawshank, August 8, 2020August 8, 2020 Well welcome to Saturday. We made it. It's supposed to be a nice sunny and somewhat hot day here in TinyTown. I don't know what's going on today. I'm either going to be helping make some jam, or going into town. It hasn't been decided yet. Right now, it doesn't matter, as I'm drinking coffee. Shady… Continue Reading
Life She want that cake, cake, cake, cake, cake, cake, cake, cake, cake, cake Shawshank, August 9, 2020August 9, 2020 So finally. Sunday. SUNDAY! Bake day. I've been waiting for this day for like a week and a half. I'm making The Editor's secret family recipe: Pumpkin Chocolate chip Cake. It's actually in the oven right now. Slight deviation from the recipe. The chocolate chips melted in the heat on the way home from the grocery… Continue Reading
Life Held a bird’s egg between her breasts Shawshank, August 12, 2020August 13, 2020 Happy hump day y’all! It’s been a week today hasn’t it, nudge nudge, wink wink. Say no more! A nudge is as good as a wink to a blind bat, yanno. It’s a bright and sunny, but a slightly windy morning here in TinyTown. The guy across the street is using an angle grinder to… Continue Reading
Life Sometimes a wide turn, sometimes a quick one. Shawshank, August 12, 2020August 13, 2020 Sitting here watching Guys Grocery Games (Triple G for those in the know), and have really noticed that everywhere you can drive in 2 hours here, there’s no book store. Nothing other than about 4 second hand stores, that pretty much have a bookcase or two. Other than that you’re looking at maybe 2:20 worth… Continue Reading
