Mum was spying on me, as I set out from her parking lot:
Apparently the narrow alley is part of Peter St.:
We used to have ISCF meetings here when I was in high school:
Mary from Cambrian used to meet her friend at this corner in her childhood:
Many "Young Peoples" events were held here:

Bike Ride to Norah Parkette (which I visited last Septemeber) in order to ride back along sections of Harold/Catherine missed last year.

This is the section on West C. St. where I lived briefly (green house on right).
This house on E. Christina has the same colour scheme as "Paul's house" beside mine used to have.

Apart from riding to my crossing corner almost every day this winter, this was my first bike ride of the 2021 season in which I hope to fill in on my map the streets I missed in 2020.
Here we see that the bike lanes aren't quite available yet, but apart from that it was a nice little ride in the neighbourhood.

Via Zoom I participated in the annual Pioneer Camp Manitoba Winter Coffee House. The theme for the evening was "boats" and so my contribution was a sort of sea shanty: Gilbert and Sullivan's "Pirate Chorus", previously recorded for the Cheer's Open Mic Gang Quarantunes.
This video was shared this evening, too. Lots of fun, a bit sad at the end:
Links to all my MPC Boys Camp sessions

... and it goes on from there. The back cover must have been drawn by someone who had never seen a hockey game.
I drew wrote/drew these stories when I was in about Grade Five, I would guess.
Grade Two Printing Exercise: I'm not sure whether I composed the story myself or not.
Tune I composed for one of the songs in Cambrian Players' production of _Halo_ by Josh MacDonald, directed by Kat Ferrazzo, Nov. 2009:
1960s: 127 South Brodie St. Much later when it was Hull's Family Bookstore, I lived in the apartment above:
I was a member of the Banana Splits Club!
It was all just a scam by adults to get us to behave!
"Be sure to drink your Ovaltine."

Banana Splits Hand Puppets:
Rings from cereal:
Consonant Blend Book: 1967
Wolf Cub Souvenirs:
I didn't attend the Manitoba Jubilee. I think I just found the badge somewhere.
Award for showing up:
I was at this event, but not that I was not awarded my Red Star for some reason. Maybe I criticized the obviously staged pose in the photo:
What 46 Beaufort Road looks like now:
Sunday School at First Church United:
My Dad mailed me (and siblings, too, I think) these so that we would have a Fort William and then a Thunder Bay postmark.
"I was today years old, when I learned that my Dad's nickname in his youth was also Peps (or possibly Pep). My Mum says that in fact it took her a while to find out what the real name of this handsome fellow who came to her workplace was. (I look like him.)" (Jan. 21/21)
Elmer the Safety Elephant was something of a crossing guard. Hmmm.
I won't post all the pages of my Gr. 2 Health & Science book. Most of it was science as above.
One safety section was "Safety at School"
1) Don't push at the fountain.
2) Don't be a Pushy-pig.
3) Don't play ball near the windows.
4) Don't run in the hall.
5) Don't play by the doors.
"Don't be a Pushy-pig." ?!
