  • As a small child, my parents and I visited Margaret & Wilson and boys where they lived in Portage la Prairie. Of course, Margaret being Margaret, we had to have a snack. This was my first time to taste cinnamon toast. It was delicious and to this day, I make cinnamon toast when I need a boaster. Over the years when the Nixons were on holidays, they would visit and stay with us at our farm in the Pebble Beach area.
