Days Inn - Regina

... Plus, it was snowy and slushy and cold when I was there and I was getting sick. I only had shoes made of canvas which I quickly discovered had holes in the soles so I had to buy boots. So I spent most of the day hanging out at the mall.<br><br>Probably the most interesting thing that happened there was in the middle of the night in the hostel. When I checked in I noticed a sign on the front door saying something like please ...

... area has gone downhill as has happened to most cities, it is nice to see that the city has shown some growth and boasts several new buildings and residential houses. This is a major grain farming area and the city serves a number of small rural communities. It was fun reminiscing about the "good old days" when I was a kid without a worry in the world! How time flies by......tomorrow, we'll be back in Bonnyville so this will probably be our last BLOG until we hit the road again in Sept/Oct.

I cooked for about 10/15 people (and yes I fit them all in my 450 sq ft house). I made a 5 kilogram turkey, mashed potatoes, fresh squash, green bean casserole, mac and cheese (the southern tradition), rolls, apple pie and chocolate martinis ( I never can spell chocolate ...

Well I've made it one month and the next 5 months should be a breeze. I must say my first month has not been without it's challenges. Besides all the stuff that goes along with moving to another coutnr: bank accounts, utilities, change of address, customs, directions....I've managed to battle a bed bug infestation and now a cold. Bed bugs are in fact a pain in the ass. Right after I pretty much got everything settled - bed ...

... struck me. We went on home visits with the home health workers in the morning. It was neat to see what they do and to see people living normal lives while living with HIV. One of the houses that we visited the wife was a widow and had a child. Her and her husband had been building a new home when her husband died. They had finished enough that her and her child could live in it but you could see the rest of the foundation unfinished as ...

... share my stories with you. I'm mildly stressed about packing which is bizarre; but I feel like I need to pack to fit so many occasions. I have some logistics and details to iron out still so I had better work on that instead of creating random blog entries. Keep in touch! Marcey

... trip. Humorous, drunk, meandering Worm. Lazy butt but very generously warm and comfortable to be around. With an Arkansas accent, he made sure that Kyle knew how happy Worm was to see him at the wedding. With the same accent, he asked me when would I get married to Kyle so that he could come visit us in Canada? Made from his mouth were the sweetest of speeches and the dirtiest of humour. Humorous ...

... we took a tour of the underground tunnels in the city where he had his whiskey smuggling operation....the tunnels were also supposedly used to smuggle Chinese immigrants from the US to Canada during the period just after. Anyway the tour was neat - the guides actually act out the parts of the Capone gang and the tour group is treated like a group of ...
