Great driving thru the rest of Manitoba & into Sask. Arrived in Moose Jaw Sat afternoon. Parked motorhome at brother Ryan & Pat's to settle in for a few days. Great chinese dinner with them & niece Penny & blondies Alexis, Trista.
Caught up on the news & laundry on Sunday, ahhh, that feels good, life is simple! Delicious barbecued steak dinner with all & brother Wade. He & his buds shot 3 deer the next day, we can taste the sausage already!! Lots of semi's loading & unloading cattle bought & sold in the yard day & night, just a beehive of activity at Gibson Livestock.
Monday we drove to Regina to take Gerry's passport application to the Passport Office. Lineups but got it done. Rented a Ford 500 sedan for the next 2 weeks to visit around Alta & Sask., it'll be easier for driving around the cities & cheaper on gas than the guzzling Travelaire. Gas prices are about 30% more in Canada than in the US..!! Cleaned up motorhome & packed up for an early start Tuesday.
Love the local saying "you betcha!", used instead of sure, OK or 10-4!
Drove to Medicine Hat & met niece Samantha G for lunch, then a tour of her pad, sweet! The roads are flat, high quality & vast, 4 lane all the way from Brandon. There is so much space out here! Lots of windmills, oil derricks, more deer crossing the roads & nice rolling hills & valleys.
Stopped in a park in the city for a much needed walk, several large rabbits bouncing around.
Awesome garden spaghetti dinner with niece Lisa, Bob & Jesse, Samantha D had to go to work.
Wed morning got our exercise raking leaves & making Bob & Lisa's yard winter ready, gorgeous fall morning. These people make us work for our supper here, ha!
Had salmon lunch with sister Estelle & Ian, great apartment, great location. Now off to have dinner with S's school chum Jan & Les. Just hanging out at Chapters until they get off work, it is snowing outside, it's winter here!
