Happy Whatever Weather Day you’re enjoying or not enjoying! We have every season you can think of again this week here in Cavalier County. I have something happening to me that keeps recurring, and it’s getting on my nerves.

Road trip: Part 1

The Morning Stroll and Cuppa Joe: A scary night at The Fort Garry

A friend of mine recently traveled with her husband to Winnipeg for their anniversary and spent the night at the Fort Garry Hotel. She said when they checked in, they asked to not be placed in the haunted room. The haunted room at the Fort Garry, FYI, is Room 202.

Musings from Munich: New Year…Oh boy
