Hi Ian here from the Veranda Gift Shop….well maybe not since I am writing this from Swift Current Saskatchewan with a balmy temperature of -18c. Paulette and I are on our way to Victoria BC with a stop for a few days in Vancouver (we expect to get into Vancouver Read more…
Hmmm…am I the only one blogging here (seems the last 3 posts were mine) or am I not using this thing properly?
Well its Dec 28 and the weather is nice (-12C when I checked the thermometer this morning @ 7:00). Today is starting off sunny. Went for a walk down to the boat launch (on Harry Craig road).
Went for a spin last night on my Polaris Indy. The sno pass trails were kind of rough
December 13 Veranda Gift Shop: It was -30c this morning with a bit of a wind (with wind chill -35). But that did not stop the snowmobilers (saw several this morning). Not to much traffic here on Hillside Beach rd. Everybody (except some crazy snowmobilers are staying home by the fireplace
Restaurant at Lake Winnipeg – what kind of service do you expect, what type of food and what range of choices?
There are many people that have cottages along Lake Winnipeg. Lately it has been obvious that there has been a generation change which is actually still ongoing. Cottage owners tend to be younger families and younger owners. Obviously this younger generation has different expectations than their parents and grand parents.
That also includes eating out and just food in general.
This is why we are creating this poll
There are many ways to celebrate and express thanks at Thanksgiving. Even in difficult times, there are always things for which to be grateful.
Many Resaurants are closed, because of the bad economy. But on Traverse Bay Corner, the Idle Thyme Restaurant didn’t. It is still open. (Thanks Cheryl)
So you can go there for your Thanksgiving Dinner.
I came across this interesting history for Hillside Beach the other day. I knew Harry Craig and knew that his sister Mrs. Williams owned land. I didn’t realize that there is more to the past of Hillside Beach.
The Best Way, cheapest Way, Selling your Property or Cottage at eastern beaches
Selling property and Cottages may be due to some very important reasons. Some people though sell properties and theire cottages as forced by some critical conditions and reasons. It may be due to financial problems such as cost cutting, going away for good, planning to buy a new house, and the likes.
When a person decides to sell his cottage or property, the first thing to look for is
As usual one of the first things I do, when I get back to my place is to get the water running.
I just don’t feel right starting the day without a proper shower.
Something wasn’t right. When I got inside I knew what it was. The pump hadn’t restarted. My new underground lines were still frozen!
Breakfast, lunch, dinner – fine dining at the lake
Summer may be over, but even in Fall and Winter there are events and aktivities that make the Beaches along Lake Winnipeg worth a visit or a short relaxing holiday. Pleasant hiking in Automn, peaceful and quiet for those that want to escape the hubbub of the city. Spending quality time at the Lake in the offseason can be really worthwhile.
And what to do after a long day of hiking or quiet relaxation? Well we all go to the Idle Thyme Restaurant at Traverse Bay Corner. The restaurant is open 7 days a week
This year a playground has been installed, and we are hoping to go even further in the next few years with sports grounds and climbing equipment, culminating in an all-weather shelter so families can enjoy the area and events can be planned in the park no matter the weather! This is a welcome addition
I was just contacted by Ms. Giesbrecht of the Hillside Beach Ratepayers Association.
She wanted to let me know that the Annual Fun Day at Charlie Wall Park will be taking place on July 5th this year.
The annual Garage Sale will be at Charlie Wall Park too and will take place on August 2nd. Individuals may rent a table from the Hillside Beach Ratepayers Ass. or bring their own. A fee will be charged.
I also like Winter though. I guess you have to, if you want to spend any kind of time in Manitoba.
I made a few pictures of Winter in Hillside Beach, so you can maybe understand why I like it.

On Saturday afternoon I went back to start working on my sandpoint and my water problem. Driving the pipes, that were by now over 12 feet in the ground, down was becoming more and more difficult.
Thursday the hot weather ended with a bang! My power kept failing here in Hillside Beach during the night. There was lots of severe rain and strong winds, accompanied by thunder and lightning.
