Steveston’s Little Secret

Yes, it’s true,  Steveston is harboring a little secret.  Nestled away in this sleepy town is none other them the Home of Filipino Pride for the 2010 Winter Games, the 2010 Filipino Bungalow!!!

Come visit and cheer on the Pride of the Philippines (and Poland and the USA) at the 2010 Winter Games, JR Celski!

Let’s go JR, let’s go! JR, JR, JR!

Kisses Emme xoxo

PS Sweet and soft kisses for Steven’s brilliance on the camera and for putting up with me in stress mode.

Swiss Miss

I’ve always had a fondness for the Swiss, thanks to Stefan and his serenades.  Well … that fondness only grew yesterday after attending the opening of Maison de la Suisse.

Maison de la Suisse at Bridges on Granville Island

Very quickly I came to the realization that Switzerland is a Nation that has a fondness for many of the same thing as me – good cheese, chocolate, sausage, wine and views. And best of all, they shared this with those of us that joined them for the Opening. One Swiss gentleman, even let me bite into his schnitzel. Nom, nom, nom nom …

In Honour of the Swiss

Okay, so admittedly have no idea what these Swiss gals are singing, but they are cute and make me smile, which is exactly what the warm welcome at Switzerland House made me do this afternoon.

Oh and did I mention the yummy cheese and chocolate …..mmmmm….. I love the Cultural Olympiad!

Saskatchewan Beauty

I’ve known Andrea for years, but I had no idea that she had such a beautiful voice.

Looking forward to seeing her on stage (for free, no less) at the Saskatchewan Pavilion on February 15th and 16th!

Sleepless Nights

If I was honest with myself, I’d probably know why I spent my night tossing and turning, but all I really want right now is to return to my dreams ….

…honesty takes too much energy….
