Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Prom Grand March (May 1991)

Saturday Snap – Multicultural Fusion

Pretty fun event featuring world-renowned hoop dancer Terrance Littletent and two performers who had previously been with Cirque du Soleil telling a story of cultures coming together.  Music by the amazing Andino Suns.  MCd by longtime friends of my inlaws.  And the food was pretty awesome too!

Saturday Snap – Farewell to Aunt Sandi

My mom’s sister has returned to Regina from Kelowna to stay with us for a month every spring pretty much every year since Pace was born.  But since mom was diagnosed with dementia, these visits have become a lot more meaningful.
