As you said, just life.<br /><br />While Winnipeg has Folklorama where over 40 countries' culture is on display, there aren't enough of us here to set up a Maltese Pavilion.

No real reason. Just life. It was a great visit. I will be back to your blog looking for recipes. On this last visit I bought a Maltese English dictionary. I am originally from Ottawa-is there a Maltese community in Winnipeg.Esmehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01558695355351437784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4664226786163096671.post-76723064184614984202016-06-12T16:22:23.911-05:002016-06-12T16:22:23.911-05:00Hi, Louise!

We're practically cousins!<br /><br />The last picture is the site of where they filmed the Robin Williams' movie 'Popeye'. It's become a popular tourist spot. <br /><br />About the letters...

My Pop always needed socks. Back in the 50s there was a corner store that sold men's socks, 3 pairs for a quarter. Hmm… maybe they weren’t the best of socks and that’s why they always got holes in them?<br /><br />Oh those jobs… my weirdest one was when I was a cook inMargaret Ullrichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07447453176663458811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4664226786163096671.post-50879048806524305982016-06-04T18:46:20.490-05:002016-06-04T18:46:20.490-05:00Lol, what an interesting read, Margaret.
