Wild Horse Canyon – A good wine to finish off a story

About a year ago, I saw this wine in Saskatoon.  It’s called Wild Horse Canyon.  It reminded me of some of the writing I’d been doing that was a sort of western style.  This was before I began Adventures of Black Mask & Pale Rider.  But, I thought it would be a nice treat to [...]

Farmer’s Market

Summer is always great. There’s the lake, the parks, warm weather (sometimes unbearable and hot) and even the summer thunderstorms can be great. Even if they do wake me up in the middle of the night. But one of the things I look forward to are the Farmer’s Markets.

I scream, you scream…

And the food isn’t done as I discovered something from Homestead Ice Cream here in Saskatoon. Ice Cream in a bucket. Yes, in a bucket. I had to get [...]
