If it hasn’t been obvious by my many Facebook updates (for those of you who use FB) or the post the other day, you might be surprised to find that we’re moving. Again. We sound like we’re insane to want to do this yet again, but in truth, we’re not. We just know what we...

Meet Dan’s Grandmother and Jaia and Wesley’s great-grandmother. I first met this amazing lady in 2003 on my inaugural visit to Saskatchewan. It was her birthday party. Everyone was there. And even with the oodles of people milling around, most that I had never met, I was made to feel like I belonged. Grandma took...
