Hasta luego Mexico
Only tomorrow to go and then we are off home. It has been a great three weeks for me. And I think Lawrie has enjoyed his two weeks equally well.
Gospel Choir Workshop coming to Saskatoon!
Featured Entry
When the two of us went to visit my sister & her husband for 5 weeks back early in 2009, she insisted we come to choir practice. They love their choir so they wanted to share that with us. Okay, so we tag along knowing of course that Lawrie has a nice voice, but mine isn't worth opening my mouth for, but humour my sister we will. Gospel choirs we have all seen and heard in any number of movies and it looks like they are having a good time, so maybe we will too.

Akumal, Mexico
Not ever been here before, but the opportunity arrived and so here I am. Along with my brother-in-law Mark, his wife Jean, and my sister Ruth. Mark and Jean have been here for almost a month already and...
Day Two and Three
Ohhh, it has been cold here. Unfortunately the long track speed skating is an outside sport here and we woke up to a chilly -37.5 on our thermometre. We thought the event wouldn't happen, but it...
