    About this ebook

    I was born in Swan River Manitoba and raised in Kamsack Saskatchewan. I left home at seventeen and spent twenty six years in the Canadian military. My life has taken me through such a series of diverse events that the desire to share the stories that touched my life became a life goal. I believe everyone has a story to share and from each story another can be told. We relate to life events from experiences related by others. This book has no real beginning or end it is a mere snapshot in time. I purposely wrote this book using no names so others could relate to stories within their own life. We all have had people that impacted our lives and at that time there stories have moved us. Once gone they are not forgotten but some of their unique stories are. Read, enjoy, share.

    I was born in Swan River Manitoba and raised in Kamsack Saskatchewan. I left home at seventeen and spent twenty six years in the Canadian military. My life has taken me through such a series of diverse events that the desire to share the stories that touched my life became a goal. I believe everyone has a story to share and from each story another can be told. We relate to life events from experiences related by others. Every family has favourite recipes that have passed down through the generations. I have spent a good part of my life wishing someone in our family would take the time to compile some of their favourites. As children we were encouraged to express ourselves through cooking. Many of these recipes have been tried, tested and loved by all. They have been expressed in a level that even the youngest reader can attempt their first creations without fear of failure. Take this book and make it your recipe box, mark the recipes you love, add your own to the extra pages provided and encourage future generations to pass them on. A small wish but a great demand. Our family is a circle of love and strength. With every birth and every union, the circle grows. Every joy shared adds more love. Every crisis faced together makes the circle stronger. Memories have been cherished as well as our recipes.

      To take a thought and express it in words that are simple in nature but carry a meaning is sometimes a better release than taking it out on everyone around you. These are my thoughts, expressed on many subjects.

      I dedicate this book to all the people that have influenced my life. Too many too mention or single out, yet you know who you are.

      Maybe to the point where you may like to express your own.

      Begin

      No path can be crossed,

      Without the first step taken.

      No ordeal can be confronted,

      Until the challenge is surmounted.

      No truth is learned,

      Until the facts are heard.

      Each moment in time,

      Must first begin.

      Face it and grin

      Because meeting it face on

      Is the only way.

      Just begin.
