I would have taken more photos Friday night at Hog’s Back, but it was after nine and I was losing the light. It is oases like this that make Ottawa such a liveable city.
My wife is a saint. She puts up with me, even when I am grumpy. I knew before we got married that she was a saint. She seeks God’s will and cares for people. I wanted to spend my life with someone like that, someone who makes me better by being, and by encouraging me […]
