All of us at Our Thoughts would like to welcome two new bloggers to the fray. One of them as been a regular commenter here for over a year and the other is more recent.<\/p>\n

Sally Haysom (some may know her as Smiles) is from Vancouver, BC, and has commented frequently here. She is also my mum. I felt a little like President Hinckley during priesthood session of the last General Conference when he was talking about his son becoming a general authority. Everyone else seemed to be down with it, so we decided to have her aboard. And we finally broke out of Alberta boundaries.<\/p>\n

Rick Beres is from Magrath. Since Larry Bates has some ties to Raymond (a well-known rival of Magrath), we may get to see some good ol’ church ball worthy words. Rick has only recently been commenting here, but he has a unique, strong viewpoint that we liked and thought he’d make a good addition to the team.<\/p>\n

I’ll let them introduce themselves. Please welcome them out.<\/p>\n

If you are reading this and are LDS, Canadian and living in Canada, drop me a line<\/a> if you’d like to blog here.<\/p>\n
