40 Years Ago

We spent this past weekend attending the 50-40 reunion at Weyburn, although the 50 represents how many years has past since WCC re-located at North Weyburn. The 40 years had special meaning and memories for us, the 40 years ago was meant to remember the opening of the newly built church building, but for us it was 40 years this last March that our family moved to the campus at WCC to become part of the staff. We looked after the cafeteria, but the summer of 1967 (40 years ago) we also became dorm parents which continued on and off as needed for the next 9 years. So this picture was taken remencenes of that time, and pictured here with us and Lew are some of our girls that were residents of the dorm in 1967. Included in this picture are three girls who lived on campus, and even though they were not dorm residents they still made up our dorm family. Besides being able to see some of our girls again we also enjoyed spending time with a host of friends whose friendship then and now is very special to us.

Buffalo Pound Camping

We enjoyed our time at Buffalo Pound, it was a first great grandparents experience, and as you can see from the pictures everyone is enjoying it.
This is the three fathers on fathers day, a cool day but nice none the less








This is our campsite # 24 in Maplevale ,
and of course there has to be a fire or at least smoke.

















We cannot have a fire without a wood chopper, poor Kevin chopped so hard that he had to resort to the hatchet for reasons we won't go into.














This is Gordon and Mildred's RV, they camped in site # 13 in Maplevale for several days, so it was special time for us to be able to spend time together, and of course we always have to have some rook time.

Paul and Evelee were also camped there as well, and of course there had to be a few games of canasta played, like the one seen here. Paul's brother Orland and friend Norma are also enjoying the game.

Is this Snow in July

This picture was taken July 2nd about 9:00 PM five hours after a terrific hail storm ravaged part of our city, and yes were we live certainly saw the brunt of it. We were out of the city at the time but this is what greeted us on our arrival home and as we drove into our parking space we couldn't imagine what this white stuff was until we walked closer to the building. Although it was hail it appeared when we saw it more like chopped ice. The south side recieved the worst taking away beautiful flowers in beds and on decks. I am hoping that others may have taken a picture when the ground was completly covered ankle deep as this one doesn't tell it like it was.

But what can we say, other than this is Saskatchewan.
