Home from BC

Friday morning we had to say goodbye to Ryan and Tammy. We said goodbye to Rawley the night before as it was too early for him to get up. I think it was too early for Ryan too as I am not sure he really openned his eyes to say goodbye LOL!

We got away very close to 7 a.m. and headed off to meet up with Sandra and Al! It was so great to see Sandra again and to meet Al. We ate at the White Spot and it was all very good (even if they didn't know what a denver sandwich was LOL) We had a really nice visit before it was time to head out again. We got to Golden that night and stayed at an alright motel, no frills but it was clean so that was good.

Saturday we drove and drove and drove. Our butts were all tired from the hours spent in the car. We got to Moose Jaw, and thank goodness we had booked rooms before we left home as there wasn't a room to be had. Gary asked the girl that checked him in where a good place to eat was and she recommended this restuarant. She said, when you get there it won't look like much from the outside but it is very nice inside and the food is wonderful. She was so right. I don't think we would of chanced it if it hadn't come with a recommendation. It is an old house that has been made over as a resturant. We got escorted to our table up, up and up, probably what used to be the attic. The menu was done up like an old newspaper with articles about the house etc. We were surprised to see that the house is suppose to be haunted by Minnie, but she didn't make an appearance while we were there *S* The food was so good there too! When we got back to the hotel we sat in the hot tub for a bit and then turned it.

Sunday morning we slept in a wee bit but were on the road in pretty good time. We knew we were going to make it to Virden about 1 p.m. so phoned Dad and asked if he would like to join us for a late lunch. He did that, so we visited at the restuarant and then went to his house, picked up the dog and off we were. Got home and did up laundry and headed to the trailer. It was so HOT in the trailer, but turned the ac on and by bedtime it was comfortable in there.

Monday we just relaxed around the campsite, spent a fair bit of time at the pool as it was HOT out! Today Gary had to come in to golf so I came in with him. They are calling for some nasty weather so decided that I would rather be here than at the trailer if it does happen. As soon as Gary is done golf he will pick me up and we will head back to the trailer for the rest of the week. Gary doesn't go back to work till Tuesday so we will come in Monday night. I am off that week as well, so have it booked up with a hair cut appt, doctor appt, lab work appt and hopefully will be able to get in for a massage. Think it will be a busy week for me *S*

Today on the way in Gary phoned work to see if there was any news on Darrell. We really hoped that they would say that he had had a turn for the better, but not so. He has been having surgeries, one was to put a permanent shunt in his head. They have determined that he has significant brain damage so it really just doesn't sound good at all. The guy that Gary talked to said that Darrell's sister had been in to see the boss to pick up papers to get the insurance going etc, and she had a very hard time telling Kent how things were. Just such a sad situation all in all!
