Charlene and I have one favourite attraction over all others: heritage homes. Be it a log cabin in the woods and learn the story of the first settlers to the vast and opulent mansions of the incredibly rich. When I am making plans for a…
I was really looking forward to taking my wife to see and experience the Historic Triangle. As Canadians, our country’s history is about 200 years old. It is tough to find anything before the mid-1800s. If you go to the USA, there is history all…
When I was a child, my father had a job to build a church in Winnipeg. We would be home during these travels when he played his part in constructing churches in various regions of Canada. On this one occasion, he borrowed someone’s car and…
