Throwback Thursday – #tbt – First Time Driving? (July 2012)

Not sure if this was Pace’s first time driving with my dad at our farm but at any rate, hard to believe he now has his learner’s license!

Music Monday – “I was thinking ’bout you crossing Southern Alberta/Canola fields at harvest time/Looked like tumbleweeds all raked up into rows/Brown rusty contour lines”

Gone Camping!

Technically, I have one day of work left but likely won’t get a chance to blog tomorrow as we’ll leave immediately after work. (And who wouldn’t be in a hurry to get to this place?!?)

One of the most unique was helping a couple family members of Metis Leader, Harry Daniels, who fought to have his people included in the Canadian Constitution, come into the library to print a proof […]
