Gospel Choir Workshop coming to Saskatoon!
Featured Entry

Home
Lawrie left for a caribou hunt up the Dempster Highway, (not too far from the Arctic Circle) on Saturday. I stayed at home and moved the trailer stuff to the house and moved house stuff from room to room...
Onward ho
We didn't ever establish a method of telling you who was writing, is this a mistake we should fix now? No. You just have to guess! This morning, after another soak in the hot springs, and what we hope is...
Liard Hotsprings
We are hurrying home hoping to stay one step ahead of the weather. There is lots of snow here in Ft. St. John, about five inches and the weather is cold (-13c) for this time of the year. The weather...
Going home
I guess technically we have been 'Going home' since we left St. John's Newfoundland, but now it really feels like we are in fact on our way home. Yesterday we zipped through Mr. Lube to ensure the truck...
