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 --
