Thursday was moving day. Our plan was to stay for a week at Sandy Beach
Regional Park. At a stop in St. Walburg, we
called the park to find out if they had space for us for the next week. No luck. We then had to implement plan B, so we called Weavers RV Park in
Lloydminster, which had space for 4 days. We decided we would go there and then
figure out what our next move would be. When we arrived at Weavers they had
moved some reservations around so we could stay for the week. As Lloyd is only
19 kms from Sandy Beach Regional Park, we decided that was ok. Once got set up
we checked with Trev. They are still not in their house, but he is hoping they will be
back home within the next week.
Friday morning we went to a clinic to get Joan's blood work
done for her CT scan. Without an appointment we only
has to wait about 20 minutes. After getting the blood letting taken care of we
did some shopping, then headed back to the trailer to put together our steps
and laze around. We came to the conclusion that our plan B was really a superior
plan as the RV park has a very clean laundry room and some of the cleanest
bathrooms we have had this summer.
Sunday, a cloudy dull day was a perfect day for a drive. After a coffee stop in Vermillion, we drove up highway 41 to Elk Point, stopping
at a few campgrounds along the way. We then stopped at Fort George and
Buckingham House Provincial Historic Site. The site was very well done and we
spent some time walking the interpretive path to the archaeological sites
of the two forts.
After a stop at Whitney Lakes Provincial Park we headed back
to Lloydminster to watch the Hamilton/Saskatchewan football game.
Monday we experienced the advantage of a small city. Our recliner in the
trailer needed a spring in the reclining mechanism replaced, again. After a stop at
Home Hardware to no avail we went to Lazyboy. They had one, which we bought, but suggested
a furniture repair shop. They had 2, so we bought them all, so now we have extras
for next time. The whole event took us less than an hour. Last fall it took us 2
days to locate the proper spring in Calgary.
Joan called the cancer board to
find out if her CT scan was still scheduled for the High River hospital or if it
had been changed to a different location. The hospital is back in operation,
so the scan will be there, as scheduled.
Tuesday we heard from the High River campground which is closed for the
season, due to damage from the flood, so we have to find a campground in the
area. Sue let us know
that they are still waiting to occupy their house. They still need a fridge and
gas hooked up. This does seem to be taking a long time.
We went out to Sandy Beach, thinking we might go swimming, however the
beach was fully occupied by youngsters taking swimming lessons.
