not too young, not too old….

So This page is going to be pretty full as it’ll include things about my family as well. It’ll probably take some time to fully populate. Thanks for your patience and interest.

A letter sent from Prime Minister John Diefenbaker to Lises’ Grandmother in Nipawin.

It’s amazing he took the time to write this letter. I don’t even get an aknowledgement response from my MLA, let alone my MP or the Prime Minister!

Dogs

We ahve 2 dogs. We added Cub Covid Ketilson in 2020 during the lockdowns. We figured it was the best time to get a dog since we would be around to train him. We had no idea what a great addition to our family he would be.

Cub Covid Ketilson, our little bear cub. A purebread havanese.

Then, in 2021 when there we started thinking about going back to work, we felt Cub would be very lonely. So, we looked for a friend.

Soon, Cub had a sister, Coco Bliss Ketilson joined our family. She’s quite different from her brother. She’s sassy, opinionated, and very vocal.

Now, we have the two best guard dogs a family could ever ask for. We can’t imagine life without these two – they’re always so genuinely happy to see us!

Maps

I can spend hours looking at old maps. The great thing is all of the maps below are from Atlas Maps published by NR Can, or thumbnails from the National Air Photo Library of Canada, and a couple from South Africa. I typically look for stereo sets so I can look at the overlap in 3D.
