Home, safe and maybe not quite so sound
We got home Thursday night. We had lunch in The Pas with my old, long ago, (30 years ago) friend, Tracy Schell. It was good to see her again. I bought a pair of moccasins from her. She makes such wonderful things. I'll have to post some of her picures of the things she has made. Soon...
The drive home was a long one. I don't know if I'm crazier for going the long way home or coming home at all...
It doesn't feel like home anymore. So foreign. So alien. So temporary. Hopefully.
We went to Selkirk Sunday last. What a beautiful little town. I think Selkirk has turned into our second choice. Portage La Prairie is just like Thompson...Brandon was interesting. We didn't make it to Neepawa. We did go to Riding Mountain though. That was so peaceful and tranquil. So many people walking, holding hands, riding bikes (there were a lot of bikes build for 4,) people walking with their children, people walking their dogs, people relaxing on the beach, on the bridge, on the water, boating. The only dramma to be seen or heard was perhaps a dog barking at another dog. During our drive out we saw a family riding a horse drawn carriage. ...In no way did Dauphin compare. We have friends who are planning on moving to Dauphin. We, however, didn't share the same desire...too far away from Winnipeg and North Western Ontario.
Mike has to go back to work next week. I have another month off...as long as they don't rope me into working at the museum...I've started another wild and crazy project that'll help us with all of our plans...I'll tell you about it as soon as it's finalized.
Depending on the weather, we're going fishing tomorrow. It's been raining today but we really need the rain.
