On September 6, Lori and I decided it was time for a night out. We seldom dine out, especially during our summer stays. Still, when we do, the Heidout in downtown Cranbrook is a familiar favourite. Located at 821 Baker Street, it’s a bit of a drive from where we spend our summers. However, it…

We have been liking Spanish wines lately,especially Rioja. This one is reasonably priced, a nice wine that Vivino rates as a 3.7. It fits…

Here is a story. I once edited and wrote for a short time for a now-dormant online magazine, The Harmony Chronicles. It was a magazine dedicated mainly to independent artists of any genre, recipes, self-help, and anything else we considered interesting. We, as several partners, willingly gave our time.

We showed you a blank canvas when we last talked about our RV lot. https://joebeans2002.com/2024/07/19/creating-our-year-round-haven-leasing-and-developing-in-bc/ We had this unit near Balfour, BC, on Kootenay Lake. The sight was perfect in every aspect except one. It wasn’t open all year. It also didn’t have running water, power, or sewage. The new location had more and more,…

As we do from time to time, we make our way down the Centro area of Mazatlán. Today we, or more specifically Lori, were on threefold mission. First lunch, then looking for an object at Michaels Gallery and third, an ice cream cone. Step 1 was to grab a pulmonia for transport to the Centro…

Photo by Is It Possible To See It All This superb example of Chilean wine is a must. The grape is grown in the Cachapoal Valley in Chile. An affordable Gran Reserva at an average price of $21.46 CAD, it is rated as 4.0 by over 800 users on Vivino. This app is worthy of…

I promised to do some restaurant reviews and figured I’d start with the new addition to the Gold Zone, an old favourite starting up again in the same Gold Zone location as it was before. Yes, Gringo Lingo is back. It’s not quite what it was, but it is open and is making strides towards being…
