A Holiday Travel How-To Guide

The older I get, the harder it is for me to figure out what the heck I should buy for my friends and family during the holidays. We have enough stuff, so what else do we really need?

The positive effects of friendship

Going into the Canadian Thanksgiving weekend, a lot of us will start to think about what we are thankful for. For me, the list is long. But I don’t think there is anything, or anyone, that I am more grateful for than Catherine. After twenty years of friendship, we have lived a lot of memories, hairstyles, and moments together. So I thought I would take a few moments to share some of those memories and why I love her so much. Friendship is a vital thing in this crazy world, and I couldn’t ask for a better friend!  Continue reading “The positive effects of friendship”
