Secular Sunday – The Only Demon Summoned Was A Scary Dad!

Sasha had her ninth birthday today and though we had a pretty mellow art/painting/Bob Ross theme for our budding artist, as most pre-teens have for years, someone ended up suggesting they do “Bloody Mary” in our bathroom.

Friday Funk Link – 10 Ways To Make A Winter Trip to West Edmonton Mall Feel Like A Tropical Vacation

Contrary to the impression you might get from some western Premiers, the Covid pandemic is not over. But with vaccinations and boosters also being increasingly common, we’re all slowly returning to “normal” (whatever that is.)
