Regina to Fort Qu'Appelle












On July 23 we have a lovely breakfast on the deck. We kick around a few ideas of what to do and decide to go out to the Fort. There are a couple of photo stops along the way and many comments about who lives here or there and is a client! They own an Insurance Agency. We get to downtown Fort Qu'Appelle and Carol takes me to a funky dress shop where we both find something that is calling out our name. The guys go to the RM office and get maps. Find good flip flops at Fields. Then on to lunch at the Bistro Off Broadway. Another funky little place, owned and operated my Monique from Quebec City. Fine food and entertaining lady. She suggests we see the pelicans at the weir. Pat and I go there after lunch and Dan takes Carol in search of the other good dress shop in town.

At home -- another lovely day that I have spent inside, doing nothing too exciting, but busy all day. Life is good on the West Coast. Recently I finished reading the Lawman, a book about the early BC Provincial Police. Now I am reading about the Bride Ships from approximately the same time. I never thought Canada had very interesting history, but I am really liking this stuff. I may be hooked on Canadian history, now. Especially, since we are thinking of going to see the Rideau Canal, Quebec City, Montreal and another small river cruise for the St. Lawrence Seaway. All of this, hopefully, next September or October. I would like to take a train out and maybe fly back. We still need to plan it.
