Before we left Toronto we had a 1 day visit first with Susan and Rick in Bobcaygeon and then a 1 day visit with Bern and Dale in Peterborough. This picture (if it works) is of Bern and Dale - we are about to enjoy a wonderful dinner of leftovers! Flank steak and salata Batata. Yum

Hooray, I'm finally able to blog again

Hi to any followers. My apologies for not blogging since early May. Much has happened since then, including getting this new lap top which has until today flummoxed me about getting access to update the blog. So here we are in Swift Current Saskatchewan! We left Toronto on the 30th of May and went to Bolton and then on to North Bay, well really Powassan for a visit with Tammy and Summer. Then we carried on through Sudbury and Sault Ste. Marie to Wawa. Next day we skirted around the top of Lake Superior and missed Thunder Bay entirely on the bypass and carried on to Dryden. The excitement in Dryden was that the Hydro folks turned the hydro off to the entire town at 7:00 Am on the Sunday morning. Luckily we were still on Ontario time and so up an hour early to cope without power. No restaurants open for breakfast so luckily our hotel had planned ahead and had carafe's of coffee and muffins. Easy drive to Winnipeg - stopped at Falcon Lake and the mosquitos were just as bad as we remembered from 30 years ago. Great visit with Laurie's relatives. Aunty Melvie is a remarkably young 85 year old - and we really enjoyed dinner with her and the family. (Karen and Jamie, John, Max and Alice). Its amazing how much those kids have grown in 3 years! Slow start today, but we continued through Regina, Moose Jaw and now here in Swift Current. Next I will try some pictures! We are off to Oyen Alta tomorrow and then on to Okotoks for tomorrow night.
