Saturday Snap – Aloha!

In 2002, Shea and I joined my parents for two weeks in Kailua, Oahu. We’ve just confirmed that we’ll be going again in January 2012 which will be the tenth anniversary of our first trip! This time, Shea and I decided we’d like to see something different so we’re going to spend one week in […]

Friday Fun Link – Newfoundland vs. Saskatchewan

In Saskatchewan, we farm the land. In Newfoundland, they farm the sea. Both provinces have reputations for extremely friendly, welcoming people. To be […]
