not today...

Okay, so we AREN'T going today.... but hey, we are on holidays, so really, what's the rush? Actually, it poured and did the thunder boomer things last night. And even this morning, 9ish. So gives me another day to putz and find things. I wasn't ready yet anyway. See, told you it rains when I camp!! Can't "talk" about it, have to actually pull stuff out and make like I'm going camping!

A few years ago, we went to Cypress Hills, SK side. WOW!! That IS a neat place! They were on the verge of putting a fire ban on. I showed up. It rained. It poured. There was lighting. Paddy's tent almost got washed over the edge of a little hill. We hid out in the car and steamed up windows. But that was usually only at night, so during the day, we went on a horseback ride (I love riding horses, but those trail rides ..zzzzzzzzzzz) We played minature golf. Took out paddle boats on the lake. Boys went swimming at the pool. In the evening we'd go down the hill, and have an ice cream cone. Definately LOTS of stuff to do!! One of those 2 Thumbs Up places!! If it weren't so far for the girls to come down to, I'd suggest we'd go there.

As it is, we may be going towards Drum, along the Red Deer River - my cuz Viki pointed out a couple of campgroungs that may work - she's gonna check it out for me! Sweet!! I'll call Deb S. tonight and give her the heads up, unless she has something else in mind, this may be the place to go to! She isn't working in August, I'm still on holidays, and if Sophy can take the day off - we should be able to be there on Thursday - beat the mad rush for a spot. It may work....

Okay, back to sorting / cleaning / finding stuff.

Wow! Nice camping stories. If I were 30 years younger. I'd ask if I could join you. Congratulations on the engagement. Jean
