A visit with me Mom!
Lawrie comes up with some wonderful ideas now and then! I was feeling somewhat nervous with our plan to drive through the Rockies with the trailer and then carry on home via Kamloops, Prince George, and...
Gospel Choir Workshop coming to Saskatoon!
Featured Entry
When the two of us went to visit my sister & her husband for 5 weeks back early in 2009, she insisted we come to choir practice. They love their choir so they wanted to share that with us. Okay, so we tag along knowing of course that Lawrie has a nice voice, but mine isn't worth opening my mouth for, but humour my sister we will. Gospel choirs we have all seen and heard in any number of movies and it looks like they are having a good time, so maybe we will too.
A week in Cowtown – aka Calgary

Drumheller, dinosaurs & hoodoos
It is a beautiful drive to Drumheller. Huge blue sky and golden wheat fields. A lot of the farmers are in trouble this fall as the weather has been so bad only about half of the crops have been...
Kindersley
It's a short couple of hours to Kindersley from Saskatoon were we stop in for a visit with Lynn's brother and his family. We always enjoy our visits here! The big talk around town is this thing called...
Catch-up!
It's hard to believe that it has been nearly a month since our last update. Most of that time has been spent in Saskatoon. My father is very ill and we juggled our schedule a bit to allow us to spend an...
Settled in Saskatoon
The next day sees us trundling off to Saskatoon. We are arriving unexpectedly early so this is fun for us. There isn't much to say about the landscape from Riding Mountain to Saskatoon other than it is...
Riding Mountain National Park and closed Museums
It is a huge disappointment for us when we find that the Children's Museum at The Forks is closed for maintenance and training. What a let down! This is the place we promised ourselves we would come back...
Trees, Mints, and Sunflowers
Another extremely early start and while we have seen this part of the highway, it is now dark and so who is to know. The sun does come up sometime and reveals more trees! Lawrie spots a bull moose and...
The Last of Ontario
What a lot of driving ... a very big drive! We left Koshlong Lake Monday morning at 9ish and managed to get to a nice and very quiet Provincial Park near Cochrane. We had planned to stop at Kap Kag I Wan...
Three days of rest
After leaving the Ottawa area, we are cross country bound for the Haliburton highlands and Koshlong Lake where our daughter-in-law's parents have a cabin. We are welcomed as once again we bring the sunny...
The Museum of Civilization
We bypassed this Canadian icon of museums when we were here before. But now we needed to drop a book off at Julia's and do a few other chores so we thought we might as well spend a few extra hours and...
