Saskatoon Exhibition
| The Saskatoon Exhabition happens each year in August and you can almost bet they will be some of the hottest days of the year. This year it was especially hot on the day we went to the EX and met up with Nana and Pompa. One thing about extreamly hot days on the praries is they are sure to end up in fantastic evening thunder storms. The lightning storm that night was tremendous and you can get the picture from the shot above in the center. That picture was taken just before they cloesed the midway and everyone ran for cover. |

Check out Lorna's website.
| Lorna is a fantastic artist. She is great at everything she tries including quilting, stained glass and painting. As her web designer and loving husband Trevor is very proud of Lorna. She gave up her career in Telecomunications to be at home with our children and they benifit so much from seeing their mother create beautiful artwork right in front of their eyes. It's common for Lauren to make comments on the changes to a painting over breakfast as notices what has changed from yesterday. Be sure to visit her web site to get a closer look at some of her work.
