&lt;p>For those in the know, my mother&amp;rsquo;s mother has just officially turned 100!&lt;/p>
&lt;p>**This woman is one of the most impressive and interesting people I know. **&lt;/p>
&lt;p>A master-knitter amongst far too many more things to enumerate, she&amp;rsquo;s traveled quite the path thus far. Everyone on the family has at least several things she&amp;rsquo;s knitted and all those who visit her know she continues to keep a sharp mind!&lt;/p></description></item><item><title>Cheers to our sage cat, Mr. Jasper</title><link>https://dawning.ca/posts/love-ya-jasper/</link><pubDate>Thu, 25 Mar 2010 21:20:16 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://dawning.ca/posts/love-ya-jasper/</guid><description>

&lt;/a>﻿﻿﻿﻿﻿Jasper, our epically sage cat left us March 24th, 2010.&lt;/p>
&lt;p>He sported a remarkable disposition unlike that of any other cat I&amp;rsquo;ve known. He expressed a vast range of positive emotions (with the occasional impressive act of disapproval). Jasper&amp;rsquo;s one of a kind character sets the bar for kitties everywhere and earned him an assortment of loving nick-names such as &amp;ldquo;Puppy Cat&amp;rdquo;. His grace is unrivaled and we will unquestionably miss him.&lt;/p></description></item><item><title>Zach &amp; Al playing with a ball</title><link>https://dawning.ca/posts/zach-al-playing-with-a-ball/</link><pubDate>Mon, 17 Mar 2008 03:17:17 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://dawning.ca/posts/zach-al-playing-with-a-ball/</guid><description>

&lt;p>In the summer of 2007 I discovered that I could play my niece Caris as an instrument. I must admit I&amp;rsquo;ve got a lot of practice left before I can play her half as well as I can play a 12lb bass fish against the side of a car. But here you can witness one of my first attempts at mastering this most unusual instrument.&lt;/p></description></item><item><title>A coin &amp; my existence</title><link>https://dawning.ca/posts/a-coin-my-existence/</link><pubDate>Mon, 28 May 2007 09:30:04 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://dawning.ca/posts/a-coin-my-existence/</guid><description>
&lt;p>A great many years ago my great grandfather and his best friend decided to travel to western canada to find work. They first traveled to Winnipeg where they were told they could find a good job with the drop of a hat. Once they got there, they heard that there were even better opportunities if they went further west. So further west they ventured.&lt;/p>
&lt;p>They reached Saskatoon and discovered that the jobs weren&amp;rsquo;t as fruitful as they expected. Then they heard that if they continued further west, they could find easy pay they sought. Onward they went.&lt;/p></description></item><item><title>2006 Santa Party!</title><link>https://dawning.ca/posts/2006-santa-party/</link><pubDate>Sun, 24 Dec 2006 16:44:40 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://dawning.ca/posts/2006-santa-party/</guid><description>
