On the road again…
Recently my family and I packed up a rented mini-van and headed on down to Eston Saskatchewan. I know why Eston? Well my eldest brother graduated from collage and is now a full fledged pastor.. Ten hours on the highway, WOW!!
Ten hours beside my beautiful 4 year old niece who was suffering from the chicken pox, ten hours of wondering why my cell phone didn’t have Tetris as one of the game options and ten hours of reading. My book of choice, ”Choke” by Chuck Palahniuk. He is one of, if not my favorite author, Yes this sassy guy likes the dark and dirty. The trip was super fun and relaxing. However I assure you that this Prairie boy realized how much more of a city boy I really am. Picture this..White shoes, tight jeans, a tight Michael Kors zip up and sunglasses with jewels on the side, walking through mud surrounded by cows and horses..And that was the B and B we were staying at. A lovely place to say the least. I looked more like a rhinestone cowboy than anything. This was the first family trip I have gone on in ages, and im hoping a tropical vacation surrounded by hot men is the next one. I wonder how my brother would feel about that. SIgh. The Mr. and Ms. Gios Pageant has now come and gone. I love gios!!! I do. This weekend reminded me of how unique we are as a community in Winnipeg. Gios is the glue that keeps us all together. The pageant was intense and the contestants worked it. Congrats to our newest Mr and Ms. Gios, Yitzack Maniples and my friend Alura Mahn. And and even bigger congrats to Mr and Ms Gios 2008-2009 Jamie Allwood and Shandi Strong. The step down of these two people was a beautifully moving occasion. A celebration of hardwork, family and a partnership made in drag heaven. I look forward to what the year will bring, big shoes to fill but there is no doubt in anyones mind that Alura and Yitzack will surprise as all.
Side note- If you are going to be visiting Winnipeg or live here, then ive got a website for you. If you are looking for a place to eat please visit this wonderful site created by a friend of mine. www.POGOGI.com
