This trip from Mc Bride to Ft. St. James was short lol We left after we dropped my grandson off at school at 8:30 or so. We gassed up and left. lol The only services is in PG. The trip was uneventful and quick. We talked about how the trip has gone so fast lol we have traveled a long ways and saw some interesting things. I was excited to see my dad brothers, sons and old friends I went to school with. The last 2 yrs we have been in the Fort, we stayed at The New Caledonia. The experience was not good lol so we decided that we were going to another place. The other place was full.

We had a great visit with Eugene & Claudia, lots n lots of laughter. Saskatoon was not one of our stops but a friend I had met in Haines Junction, YT lives there. I had not seen Marla in 15 years. We could stop here because we had bypassed The Pas, and Marla had one more of my photo albums. This would be the only time I could stop to see Marla lol don't know when I will get this kind of opportunity again. The last time I saw her, her twins were babies, now they are young people lol So we stopped and I got to catch up with Marla. She has not changed at all lol. We stayed for a lil over and hour. I took pics or should I say Nat took pics ... read more

Oh my! The trip from Winnipeg to Thompson, Manitoba seemed the longest. We left Winnipeg after 1 PM lol Nat had one visit left to do. The trip just seemed endless lol and as usual we got to Thompson late, around 10 PM. We ended having to go to The Mystery Lake Hotel. There were no rooms at the motel next to Nat's mom's and no disability units. There's stairs!! lol Nat had a great visit with her family. We went to a mall for brekky. Nat got two newspapers, one was the Thompson Citizen and she got me a First Nation Newspaper.

We got to Winnipeg late LOL As usual. We drove around looking for a motel, as usual lol. We ended up finding The Capri. We had to pay $ 50 deposit because it's a weekly, monthly place and we were only staying 2 days. Nat had a wonderful time visiting family. I found a resturant that served a buffet for lunch, Aalto, it had excellent salads and fruit. So I had soup and salad, with lots of fruit. Nat left early and came back to drive me to a much needed laundry mat!! lol I had to dig out my cleanest dirty pants LOL Lots of shirts, underwear. LOL Man what it hot that day. Then Nat told me about a resturant that is only in Winnipeg. It's called The Salsbury House. So we went there ... read more

After our visit with Nat's foster family, we had to back track to Parry Sound, then head towards Owen Sound. I was going to meet my sister-in-law. Karen, she is Gord's ( my ex in Whitehorse,YT) sister. Gord and I were together for 14 yrs, and have been seperated for 15 yrs and I have never met Karen. I was a lil nervous but more tickled lol I have heard stories about Karen from Gord, The late Brothers Gar and John. She lives close to Owen Sound. We got there thinking that we are stopping for coffee lol and heading right to Sault Ste Marie (Soo) LOL They told us that it was a long drive, and there were lots of animals on the road lol and not the fun kind. Nat's ex brother-in-law booked us ... read more
