Entering the US

Hello and thanks to everyone who graciously hosted us as guests while we caught up on news and shared stories, laughter and tears.  We visited in Regina; I mourned the Bomber loss to Saskatchewan Rough Riders.  It was likely safer I had little to cheer about standing up in my gold t-shirt amongst a sea of green at the game!..

We spent a great weekend in Gimli having appetizers on the beach, strolling the boardwalk, and sharing a steak and lobster meal with our friends as the prize from the local Arborg firefighter fund-raiser.  A dinner for 12.  Thanks to the Marks/ Jacobson families for including us...  the volunteer firefighters served wine, french onion soup, salad, steak and lobster.  MMMM  chocolate cheesecake for desert. 

Digging in...Everyone had a bib as the juices were squirting when we all dug into the lobster after a lesson in how to eat them. 

 Toasting the firefighters for volunteering their time to keep everyone safe and for the wonderful meal

Gord had a couple rounds of golf but won't share the scores only saying " I had fun"..  He is looking forward to golfing more once we are settled in Chuburna.  We spent the rest of the week with my parents seeing more friends and family.  Sad to say goodbye this morning but ready  to begin our trip down south. 


We  crossed  the border into the US this am at Emerson without any problem. A quick look at our passports, a few questions, and the friendly young border agent  sent us on our way wishing us a safe trip. 

 Lots of corn fields and farmers harvesting as we drove to Sioux Falls, North Dakota on this sunny warm day. 

We stopped for the night and took some photos of the trucks hauling the propellers for wind generators..  LONG AREN'T THEY???

Still not sure how you can comment on the blog without signing in... I think it is part of a security setting I can't seem to change.  Once you sign into the google site as one of the choices, you can comment as many times as your want or email us at kaytordg@gmail.com....


Our next Blog will be from Dodge City.... Boot Hill B & B...  in a couple of days.


Hope this finds you all well
Dorothy and Gord
