Shea and I got to Niagara Falls a couple times during the year I spent in Ontario completing my MLIS.  This was during our summer visit…

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Happy! New! Year!

How often can Throwback Thursday be a clip from the day before and also last year? That’s why my dad’s favourite joke every New Year’s Eve is some variation of “See you next year!” 😉 Here’s Pace and his cousins partying it up last night year…
