Just heard the news that Hudson Bay Company (The Bay on Portage Avenue in Winnipeg) purchased Saks Fifth Avenue stores in the U.S.  The Bay has been a Winnipeg department store staple since it was built in 1925-26. An interesting addition to this story ... Henry Tawns, Grandfather to Sue and Julie, Diane and Linda laid the cornerstone for this Winnipeg landmark building on September 25, 1925. He was a mason and foreman on the project. 

Flagship store on Portage and Memorial.

This morning is cloudy and 16C (61F) with evidence of overnight rain. Mark has started cooking spare ribs for tonight's dinner!  

Wayne and Mark went to Northern Harbour to move Neil Carlson's Hatteras to Bruce's for canvas work. 

Ribs, fries, baked beans for dinner tonight at Chippy's Hollow!  

Oh yes, and champagne tonight!  Kurian's are celebrating real estate closings on three investment properties.
