They’re not allowed to say “Christmas” but this year, his grade sang a recognizable Christmas song (“Let It Snow”) [Edit: oh, that’s funny. I looked back at my post from three years ago about Pace’s first school concert and what song did I suggest would be a good, non-offensive choice but still “Christmasy”? Someone from […]
It was about ten years ago that Shea’s parents picked their house up off the farm in Creelman, SK and moved it in to a lot in Weyburn. Pretty amazing thing to have witnessed…

(This runner also has a Tumblr where she draws other things besides dicks.) […]
