I make it a habit on this blog to devote at least one post per year to my own backyard — Manitoba’s Interlake region. And there is no better time to salute the Interlake than during the semi-annual WAVE Interlake Artists’ Studio Tour. If you live in Winnipeg or near the Interlake and haven’t yet […]
Hi folks: I was interviewed on the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) on July 26 on the Morning Show with Marcy Markusa. So many people e-mailed me to say they enjoyed the interview that I thought I’d post it here for all to enjoy. It is 6 minutes of pure passion as I talk about my
I’ve been going to Gimli, Manitoba ever since I was a small child, as my father’s only sister lived there with her family. Until I was an adult, this small lakeside community of nearly 6,000 people simply represented a place where I had family, and where we spent many summer days walking the pier or trying
In this post, I thought I’d indulge in a share about my hometown of Winnipeg, and one of the most spectacular things about it for anyone interested in chocolate travel.
