Grandma Norie’s BBQ

When Lloyd and I were first married it was also our last year of college. We got to partake of the fantastic Married Student Food Program at Concordia, and it was a wonder.

Lawn mowing and the Muppet cake

So, I had one big project for this weekend – working on a video for my parents (shhh – don’t tell them) – but I kept getting sidetracked. The house is a wreck, and I had a few mini-projects spring up unexpectedly. The first was getting out my wedding dress. I read last year’s post [...]
