Summer nights’ jazzy lights
Herbie Hancock and Dr. John and the Nite Trippers were on-stage at this year’s Saskatchewan Jazz Festival. Nature timed her own special fireworks perfectly with both shows’ encores. You couldn’t have timed it better.

Kinsmen Park memories
Memories of the last day of operation of Kinsmen Park. The carousel will be restored like it was new, but the little train will be gone forever. A new, fancier one will replace it. And a big Ferris wheel, too.

Banking on words
I really enjoyed that warm September day in 2011 when we found that cookbook at Crawford’s Used Books, in Perdue, 60 km west of Saskatoon.
