Animal Afternoon
Here is an ethical question for you fine readers. Lets say you are driving down the street and you see, in the middle of a busy road, an animal that was hit by another driver. It is alive, injured and struggling. Do you: A) leave it and go about your day B) run it over [...][...]

Break from Bad News
Rather than blogging about all of the bad news of the day, I have decided to share photos from this past weekend. As mentioned, we had amazing friends visiting: Amanda and Devon, and their children Kieran and Liam. I, unfortunately, didn’t take that many photos, but I do have proof of the lo[...]
