Well, I'm way behind now, we're on the road in Manitoba, so will try to fill in all that we've done in the last 10 days.

Mar 30 - After doing laundry & gassing up the RV (a scary event!), drove from Jasper to Edmonton, on the Yellowhead Hwy, there are hardly any mountains to cross, just off in the distance, a beautiful view leaving Jasper where the mountain is straight ahead. Lots of snow up there, but the roads are great, very little traffic. Arrived at cousin Marv & Colleen's around 5, they were home soon too. Had a lovely meal of ribs on the barby, salad & angel hair pasta. Got all the news on their trip to Trois Riviere, where Marv's curling team (with skip Pat Ryan) won the senior mens canadian championship! Way to go!

Mar 31 - drove to North Battleford, the only place we could find to plug in the RV (it's going to be below zero tonight) was at the Golden Eagle Casino, no campgrounds open yet. Walked around town & stopped at Boston Pizza for beer & wings & a take out veggie pizza. Back to the RV for pizza & wine, yum! Then off to the casino to pay our rent for the electricity, and that didn't take long!!

Sun. April 1 - down the road to cousin Gail & Dave's at their farm outside Ruddell, Sask. Haven't been here for many moons either! They have a lovely lunch prepared, soup, salad & lots of fixins. Their "kids" Krista & Jason, with kiddies Taylor ; Brodie; and Tyler & Kim, with Mckenna & Rylan (sp?) arrive also. So great to see everyone and have a short visit! They are still talking about the lobster fishing in your boat, Brian! Lots of great memories... Soon we are off down the road to Moose Jaw, to have dinner with Wade. He cooked up some of his deer sausage on the barby & we added in some salad and corn. Donna was on a visit with Samantha in Medicine Hat. We met the new (1 yr old) puppy Molly, who needs to transfer some energy to the rest of us!

Mon. April 2 - laundry day again, time to wash jackets that we have been wearing again now that we are back in the colder provinces again. It is below freezing at night, but some sunny days, not much wind. Get some walking and running in. Paperwork to catch up on, meeting with lawyer, stuff!! Dinner with Wade, Gerry cooks halibut along with another salad, we are eating so good!!
