A drink of iced water. When doing hard work like loading and unloading wagons full of hay-bales on a hot summers day there’s nothing better.
Camping . watching the fire burn and tending it. Going for a bike ride through the camp ground. Meeting different people at the camp ground. They all seem to have interesting stories about why they are at the camp ground. Like: just got divorced. Looking for a job in Alberta (They were from New Brunswick). Installing wind turbines in the summer and living in Florida in the winter.
Watching the wild life . The rabbits and prairie dogs hide in the camp ground to avoid the coyotes. Teasing the squirrels. Making poogy pies on the fire. Fishing at Carson Pegasus Park in Alberta.
Hiking when Rita was able. She drives around on her scooter now.
Driving across Canada and finding interesting places to feast like “Bills sticky fingers” in Portage La Praire Manitoba. (Best ribs in Canada).
Trans Canada Motel in Dryden Ontario. Fried Baloney and Corn Chowder (was owned by two new-fees but I think it burned down. I miss it).
“The Sub Place” in North Bay Ontario (the best roast chicken subs in Canada).
Andrea’s in Bracebridge Ontario (real Spanish coffee and beef tenderloin stroganoff)
“The Green Gables” in Whitecourt Alberta (best prime rib in Canada, owner was a butcher )
The Granada in Powell River BC (Baked spaghetti )
The White Fox Inn, Thunderbay (spent our anniversary there)
Saskatoon has many great restaurants too like The Granary, Mano’s , Arby’s, to name a few.
