Tuesday March 29, 2022
The day was windy and therefore really cold this morning as we went for a healthy breakfast at A&W. Later we went to meet Maurice's friend Tina in her lovely home for lively conversation and travel discussion.
We left there and Maurice took me to the Saskatchewan Provincial Museum which I had not seen since 1967, and it was completely different. I vividly remember that it once had a geology section which said that a large potash deposit was found at Radville but it was too deep to be commercially viable to recover. Apparently that was removed about 8 years ago. Now it is mainly animals and dinosaurs and very well done with piped-in sound effects. Some exhibits showing that possibly elephants and rhinoceri roamed this area are a little far-fetched in my mind, but I took a lot of photos of the nice exhibits.
Then Maurice took me by the nearby Wascana Park and the Saskatchewan Legislature to see some Canada Geese but even they were mostly staying out of the cold wind.
I worked the rest of the afternoon on these photos and then had to stop to go for supper with Maurice and Tina at Montana's where we had a playful and witty waitress. I had fish'n'chips again because I wasn't too hungry and we all had apple crisp with ice cream for dessert which was so sweet that I couldn't even finish it. Thank you again Maurice and Tina for a lovely day.
We have made many plans for the coming days in Radville to meet family and classmates. We also just got word that my Grade 12 teacher Ethel Carlson has passed away at age 91. She was a delightful and well-respected teacher. RIP Ethel.
I hope you enjoy the pictures. It took me over 30 minutes just to upload the 47 photos in stages and Google loves to annoy me by uploading 1/2 of those backwards, but it is not critical. 10 minutes was spent trying to get the last 7 uploaded in the right order. Grrrrrr That was the day’s excitement.
