Great Bio Shui Kuen!
My parents grew up in Thunder Bay - It is a place we visited during some summers when I was young. I looked up Nolalu on the map and see that you are near Kakabeka Falls. I have fond memories of picnics there and running along the smooth rock, upstream from the magnificent falls. The last time I was there (in my 20`s)I went x-c skiing at Kakabeka. What wonderful country.
One of my grandmas`s lived in Rosslyn on a little acreage, (before the area was built up as it is now). She had no plumbing, - a hand pump in her kitchen, a humous toilet indoors and loved it that way. She was quite the naturalist- birds and plants - and in her 80`s worked at the local museum to make money to buy herself a hearing aid!! You really are in a beautiful part of the world, aren`t you. The description of your property had me drooling!! Do you have a "proper Finnish sauna"?
And Ann/Robert, if you`re listening, my DH grew up in Winnipeg. DH went to Kalvin (sp) and St. Pauls. His dad, Jack Patterson was a high school English teacher at Churchill. Any links there?

Shui Kuen,
Your biography was very interesting and I definitely understand your love of living where you do. I wish I could see your pool. It all sounds so serene and lovely. Thanks for sharing it with us.

You live in absolute paradise!!! I was saying that BEFORE I even read the bio... that picture of you in a log cabin, surrounded by wood and wool... you`ve achieved my dream... living in a log cabin in the middle of nature, nowhere near a city. Wow!!! Very, very cool!

Yes, Shui Kuen, it sounds like you and your husband have made a dream come true--that`s what I`d like for my retirement someday (oh, who`s kidding who, that`s what I`d like now!). It is so nice that your husband understands the yarn enthusiasm that so many of us share. To the uninitiated it`s just yarn but to us it is a world of possibilities to dream about!

Hi,
It`s nice to hear about others growing up in Winnipeg. I actually grew up in Transcona, which, at the time, was its own city, separated from Winnipeg by farms. Now, of course, those fields are covered in shopping malls, car dealerships,etc. I went to Transcona Collegiate, and to the University of Manitoba.
