Well, I guess it's time to let the cat out of the bag. For the past several months I've been blogging about all the fun stuff I've been doing often using the term "we." And I've been getting a number of inquiries asking "who's we?" Well, we is me and him. Him being Keith, my... Continue Reading →
I've fallen in love with the brown and turquoise colour combination. While browsing through a local western store recently I came across this fabulous western style belt. Check it out and let me know what you think!

I found this cute T-shirt in a western store in Mall of America in Minneapolis recently. The colours match perfectly with my brown and turquoise cowboy boots. The Calgary Stampede has arrived. It's time to Cowgirl Up ladies!
This past weekend was a true Alberta weekend. Despite a rainy forecast, Friday evening was sunny and dry making for a beautiful evening to watch football.
