brandon’s Cancer fighting Vlogger has a new Vlog out. I actually feel like this one is her best one.  
 
I hope you all enjoy it.

what was your favourite part of the Vlog?

I love that Lisa is living life to its fullest, despite her illness. Thanks for sharing!

I liked watching her feed the deer and birds but I loved hearing how you 2 talk to each other! You can tell your best friends, it’s really sweet.  
 
Good luck with your fight Lisa!!

Some very precious memories for you both. Thanks for sharing!

Thank you for the wonderful comments.  
 
We are best friends, even after almost 23 years together.  
 
Any suggestions for some Vlog ideas around Brandon or Manitoba?

The restaurants in Brandon and mall are a good idea, Lisa has on her list to do the coffee shops in Brandon, we will try and think about a way to do the mall and restaurants also.

I have been asked several times about how to subscribe to the vlog.  
 
To subscribe to a YouTube channel you have to make a google account. You can do this by pressing sign in at the top of the YouTube screen and create account with a user name and an email address.  
 
Once you have created a YouTube account you can press the subscribe button to be a subscriber and if you also click the bell next to the subscribe button you will get notifications when a new video comes out. Also with a YouTube account you can interact by liking the video and you can also make comments.  
 
I hope this helps out.

I enjoy the updates. I don't know you both personally, but I did catch a nice interview with Lisa on CBC Information Radio this morning. If anyone missed it, check into Facebook - CBC Manitoba page for a profile of her message to live life as we know it and the support of family (Rusty) is a wonderful thing. Here is another link:

When we think we are having a rough day, it's always inspiring to see someone like Lisa who looks on the bright side of life. We have little to complain about.  
 
There are so many interesting small towns and villages surrounding Brandon to discover for any more ideas.. Alexander (Dundee Shop), Oak Lake, Rivers, Minnedosa (Farmhouse 50 for lunch and coffee), Neepawa (Nice shops, Farmery Brewery tours maybe and pretty scenery), Carberry (Sara the Camel and the Sandhills), Shilo (Museum), Wawanesa (Terrific museum and pretty scenery by the old bridge!), Boissevain (turtlemania and nice shop), pretty Souris (nice stop with the swinging bridge, peacocks in the park, interesting shops and a neat museum), Shady Lane Tea House (outskirts of Brandon)… I'm sure I have missed many, but I am pressed for time at the moment. All this within 30-60 minutes away.  
 
Kudos to you for bringing us an piece of positivity, Lisa and Rusty!

Just want to make a small correction to Michelle’s post...Sarah the Camel is at Glenboro, not Carberry. Carberry is often called “King Spud Country” though there is not an actual King Spud statue to welcome you to the town. Carberry features the Ernest Thompson Seton Centre and has a nice little museum including the restored Gingerbread House though I don’t know if the museum is open for the season yet - the town office might be able to confirm that. If you are into camping, Spruce Woods Provincial Park will soon be open for the summer and is between Carberry and Glenboro, and right across the highway from the Spirit Sands sand hills.

Thanks for the clarification, Grandmama! I should have known that Sara was in Glenboro and was too quick typing. Much appreciated.  
 
There are so many areas of Manitoba to discover, and I hope the OP might consider some of these ideas for some very interesting days out
