Easter Sunday! We are back at our home in Saskatoon. We were up bright and early so that we could head to Linda's parents in Langham. There, we feasted on a delicious lunch with a lot of Linda´s family present, 14 to be exact. After enjoying the traditional Easter dinner, we sent most people home, grabbed a nap like our parents, and then headed to North Battleford to have Easter supper in a private room at Mr Ribs with most of Maurice´s family. Then it was off to Tyler´s farm for the night. Bennett woke us next morning. We made time for coffee and more visiting before heading out into the crisp, cold, fresh air of the farm. The wind caught us off guard and we needed to dress in order to keep warm and be ... read more

On partit d’Indien Head et on traversa au Manitoba sans oublier que nous avons changé l’heure encore une fois... On s’arrêta pour manger à l’extérieur car – enfin! – il fait assez beau pour manger dehors ! Nous avons trouvé un terrain de camping gratuit à St Jean-Baptiste pour la nuit. On se coucha mais on eut de la difficulté à s’endormir car il commença à pleuvoir et à venter fortement. Il a fallu se lever en vitesse pour fermer l’auvent qui allait s’envoler. À l’eau, l’idée de se coucher tôt pour pouvoir partir à la première heure le lendemain !... read more

La chienne était toujours en train de courir partout dans les champs. Quand je suis allé brosser mes dents, mon père avait bougé le rv et je ne savais pas où. Alors je suis allé chercher la chienne qui était toujours là, je suis remonté par le champ et j’ai trouvé une corne de cerf. Je les ai enfin retrouvés et on est parti. On est allé prendre une marche dans le parc national des prairies et Victoria Anne, louise et bob ont vu un caribou, mais moi et Liam Antoine ont était plus loin alors on n’a pas pu le voir. En revenant de la marche, il y avait plein de vaches sur la route il fallait attendre qu’elles bougent. On a conduit pendant 9h jusqu’à Byemoor un petit village, où Victoria Anne avait fait ... read more

So here I am 3 months after my big trip from Thailand... I've had a lot of time to reflect and settle from what was the best time of my life :P I'm keeping my pictures up on my laptop so I have some sort of guide and try to remember all the things I got to see. My first few hours in Thailand were very "ugh". I may have not showed it to the girls but I was completely dead to the world. Even though I was so happy I was in this gorgeous country, I was still adjusting lol. When I got to see my room I was so happy to see a big bed! I had my own little place for the next 3 weeks. It was so pretty and smelled so good. ... read more

Hello folks! Before I start to ramble on, I want to let you know that there are some odd words and symbols etc. in the blog. I think this is because I copied and pasted from an email. I can't fingure out how to get rid of it without redoing the whole thing. Since I am off to work in 10 minutes, I am just going to ask for your forgiveness! Hope you enjoy the blog and hoping everyone is happy and well. Love as always, Weedie and Jeepa! xoxo We enjoyed Super Bowl Sunday in Regina. We had a room in the hotel and the whole team came. We started with a moving speech from Lonnie our endurance participant. He told the team about his accident in graphic detail. It was quite moving. I think ... read more

Hello from the Prairies! We were in Winnipeg for such a long time that it was great to start heading west again! The temps have been freakishly warm out here! The first place we stopped was a little community called Elie. We had 3 MB's there one of which was the mother of Tim McClain. I'm sure everyone will remember the horrific event 3 years ago on the Greyhound bus when Tim was murdered and decapated. Debbie was one of the strongest women I have met. Her anger at the system has made her this way. Vince Li was found NCR (not criminally responsible) and also doubles for "no criminal record". He will be released very soon. She is fighting the system to change the laws. She has some incredible stories of other cases that were ... read more

CANADA ON THE RAILS, WEST THRU THE PRAIRIES We left Winnipeg at about one in the afternoon, Saturday, September 24, having spent the morning in the train station visiting family of choice we had not seen for far too long and enjoying them and their two-year old first grand child. Let me tell you, there is nothing so engaging as a freshly minted Bubby in her junior years. And if you give her as much space as the entrance of the Winnipeg railway station in which to engage the child, it is just extra-ordinary, quite extra-ordinary, while Zaida simply wears that same smile of quiet content he did some forty years ago. We sat on the hind of our train in the bullet dome, pre-lunch aperitifs on ice in hand, quite content, as we watched the ... read more

After a year and a bit of saving like mad things, our trip is just two sleeps away! Buried somewhere beneath the thoughts of "What the holy shizznit are we doing?!", there is a lot of excitment. I've packed my bag countless times, done waaaay too much banking, and read confusing but apparently important documents constantly for the past few months in preparation. We will be travelling for a total of 30 hours with an eight hour layover in Vancouver and a five hour layover in L.A. I'm hoping as payment for all the gruelling waiting we'll at least spot a celebrity :P Once we land in Auckland, NZ, we will be piling into our pre-booked shuttle and going to our hostel where we have booked a three night stay in a ten person dorm (there ... read more

The only reason this feels so weird is because I still cannot believe I made this trip happen! Everything right now just feels so surreal. Guess its about damn time I start believing! Haha! Off to Phuket in about 7 work days and 14 days till my 1pm flight sets off from Vancouver! So this is my first blog. I know nothing about blogging except that Tammy told me to because it will be nice to look back on all the things I am feeling at the moment :) It does feel pretty good. Looking back on everything I can't believe I am so blessed to have a friend/family member like Tammy. She is someone who I admire and look up to. She helped me through a difficult time in my families lives and after that ... read more

We arrived back at our farm at 8:34 this evening after driving from Revelstoke, BC. My attempt to blog this morning was unsuccessful, don't know why I could view but not make a new entry. The night before last we stayed at Larrabee ( not Larramy as I said a couple of times earlier in our trip) State Campground - even got our same camp0site as before, with water tap and garbage across the trail and washrooms very close. This time I put 50 cents in the shower instead of 25 and had a hot shower! Yesterday morning I took a 10 minute walk to the "beach" which is actually a piece of rocky coastline, but kind of a neat walk through large ceders, ferns, split ceder railings along the path, etc. I even picked a ... read more
