Growing up and Growing older on Random Island. Lion’s Fall Fair. September 14, 2014. It’s not quite fall yet, but school has started and the nights have started to cool off (thankfully, need it for sleeping! So its getting closer. Back before I moved away, and quite possibly still, the Random Lion’s Club used to put off a fall fair as a fund raiser, and for that matter a fun raiser! Food (fish n brewis I think? I am pretty sure there was also a vegetable show and sale, perhaps with prizes? They had the t...

Goin to de time de nite? | Random Island Memories
https://randomislandblog.wordpress.com/2013/01/29/goin-to-de-time-de-nite
Growing up and Growing older on Random Island. Goin to de time de nite? January 29, 2013. One of the traditions of outport Newfoundland was the “time”. Havin a time seemed to die out over the years, but I do remember many held at the old one room school houses back on Random Island. Most of these buildings had a stage for little community concerts and recitals. And they mostly all had home made hardwood floors. What was a time? Where we’d stuff our faces, and need the dance later to work it off. If you w...

The Essence of Spirtuality. Retiring this blog →. August 7, 2013 · 3:46 pm. There was a time when I was idealistic about sports, and it being non political. It seems now that it is more politics. Than sport. We have governing bodies with lobby groups, we have bribery, cut throat back room deals, and all in the pursuit of the mighty dollar. Are due to be held in Sochi, Russia. The fact that Sochi is sub-tropical. And was awarded winter games is another controversy entirely). I know, I know, I’m reac...

Growing up and Growing older on Random Island. Author Archives: Peter Smith. Give em the Slip! November 30, 2014. Was reading through some old posts the other day, and seeing mention of my buddy Eric, and also of my Uncle, Larry Leawood, I was reminded of tailing slips. I think pretty much every young boy has experienced this back home, and likely most continue to do so as long as they can. Back in older days, slips were always made out of this…. braided? Wire at Handy Andy’s. Lion’s Fall Fair. It’...

Growing up and Growing older on Random Island. This page will be a work in progress, but hopefully I can build something decent over time. I did a lot of research, mainly helped by the staff at Maritime Hobbies. And decided to go with an N Scale set up. I bought a kato track system to get me started and a few cars. I may change this over time as there’s a flexible track I’d like to use, but I needed something to get started. This stuff is a lot more expensive than I realized! So hence the time. February ...

Newer posts →. Feels like an episode for Seinfeld…. I have many pet peeves I guess, or maybe I just get peeved easily, but one I’ve ranted about for ages, and finally wanted to put down on paper… wait, this isn’t paper, oh well close enough, is the price and illogic of groceries. Specifically chicken. Locally we have two main grocery stores, Sobeys. I don’t pay much attention to prices per pound of kg of item, i’m more interested in the net price per item. July 18, 2013. Middot; 5:55 pm. Lest we forget&#...

Futuristic Genius: Ring Clock Mechanical Jewellery. Sport and Politics →. July 28, 2013 · 12:32 pm. The Essence of Spirtuality. First off, for those that know me, this is unlike anything I’ve ever written about before, or probably again. But I also tend to write, or rant, about whats on my mind, so here it is. I am by no means religious, I have personal values, beliefs and ideas that don’t necessarily involve a formal god entity. However, I also don’t consider myself an atheist. And about how many were s...

Growing up and Growing older on Random Island. Brush that Stout off your Back! And Mind the Hornets! August 16, 2014. Its that time of year, or it was when I was younger anyway, berry pickin time! Really I guess there are multiple berry picking times, we go for Bakeapples in July usually, and Partridgeberries in September or even October, but when you mention berries to me, the first that come to mind are Raspberries and Blueberries, probably because they were so plentiful so close to home.
