Banjo Bowl Winnipeg Stadium Blue Bombers Saskatchewan Roughriders

Today allan and I are going to the Banjo Bowl at the Winnipeg Stadium. Saskatchewan Roughriders and Winnipeg Blue Bombers.

I made devilled eggs and thought we could bring them to the game. 

Allan sneered at me and said it is not a picnic, it's a football game! 

with all seriousness you might think we were going to write an exam.

Like I do not know that it is a football game...jeez Louise you think I do not know the difference between a football game and a picnic. 

What is wrong with bringing a little comfort food to a 

good old  rough and tackle sport which I hate anyway. 

Beer and nuts maybe, is all he said.

on a trip to Kenora and Longbow Lake
yesterday, this little Deer just sat and waited for his picture to be taken on the old number1 hwy.
I feel so much safer on these old back-roads as the trans-Canada is so congested with truckers now that the railway is not hauling to smaller destinations.

We stopped at an antiques store.
Junktion Antiques Hwy 17 just a few miles east of Kenora but before the bypass so you must go through town to get there.

The proprietor's name is Phil and his number is 807-466-1640.
I found a filing case similar to this and I am hoping to acquire it for storing all the collage and crafting items I am bringing to the shop.

vintage Harequin Romance Novels

I don't know how they can call these novels but they sure are novelties.
I have two boxes of vintage ones from the fifties.
I always thought if I had a cabin they would be fun to have on on display because I imagine that is were people might read such trashy stuff.
They are not trashy as in content they are actually quite strict in the moral sense.
Harlequin romance cover art holds its own appeal for fictional romance enthusiasts. The visual of the brawny hero and his damsel in distress has become synonymous with the Harlequin brand; in fact, collectors eagerly seek out vintage Harlequin cover art in a nod to the birth of a brand. While the Harlequin novel covers have gradually changed throughout the years to reflect a more modern audience, the cover art is still just as meticulously created as it was at its inception.

sweet girl on a longboard skateboard Tony Hawk

this wee girl came in on her skateboard and scored these connie francis
and nancy sinatra albums.
I don't think they were ever played.
how fun for her I am so amazed by the young groovy hipsters who love this old music.
she is also taking swing dancing so maybe she will be doing some groovy dance moves like Tony Hawk?
