Hello, Blogging Buddies!


Well, my recent blogging break
has concluded, so here I am again!

I did lots of things on my break
which you will learn about in due course
via various posts to come over the summer.

I did take a road trip for part of that time --
can you guess where?



Yes, that's right -- my home province and old stomping grounds
where I used to live until moving to Edmonton 30 years ago!

The provincial sign is located at the Saskatchewan/Manitoba border.
It depicts the Canadian Museum for Human Rights in Winnipeg
which is one of the places I went to in the city.

And of course, the Bison is the symbol of Manitoba.
This sign comes from a Tim Horton's en route,
so that's why it says "Always Fresh" in the breezy sky.
They mean the donuts, not the bison!

I visited some old friends, went to some
new attractions built since I last lived in Winnipeg,
revisited some of my former neighbourhoods
and favourite spots, and had a very good time!

And boy, do I know when to get outta town --
the day I left there was a tornado a few hours later
in a small community near Winnipeg.

Luckily, no fatalities but here's a look
at the ominous clouds gathering --

Summer Break


[Art by Jan L. Waldron]

Well, everyone, summer's here and I've got
places to go, people to see, and stuff to do!

So this blog will be on hiatus
until mid-July or so.

Behave yourselves until then!

Oh, who am I kidding?
I know you people!

Have fun and see you later!

Monday Murals -- Tarot Cards

I'm taking part today in 
Monday Murals hosted by Sami.


Today is World Tarot Day
so I am featuring a mural
depicting three tarot cards.

The cards represent the unknown artist's interpretation of
the Temperance, World and Star cards of the Major Arcana.

This mural was painted on the side of a
pagan, goth and kink "Curio Shoppe"
located in a trendy area in Edmonton
known for shopping, bars and restaurants.

Both the store and the mural are now long gone, alas.
