Week ending Oct 14, 2015 Thanksgiving in Regina

Friday Carol (Joan's sister) and David her husband came in from Assiniboia and treated us to lunch at Browns Social House. We spent the afternoon visiting and late afternoon they headed for home. John picked up Dominique from the University of Regina after her classes. Karen arrived after work and after dinner we completed our plans for Thanksgiving dinner. We discovered there was a Thanksgiving rabbit in the RV park, we will be curious to see if  survives the the weekend.

Saturday Karen and Dominique came by, we did a shopping trip which also included a new TV for Karen. Her TV died Friday night. Our Christmas shopping is now finished.

Sunday we joined the kids at Karen's house. Trev and family had arrived late Saturday night.  Since our  weather had not co-operated, it had turned rainy, windy and cold, we cleaned out Karen's garage set up the picnic table and had Thanksgiving in her garage. We realize that sounds strange, but there are no cats in the garage, so all those with allergies were able to enjoy dinner. After dinner we played a new game Trev and Sue had brought with them called "Cards Against Humanity". We all had many good laughs, even though the game had some inappropriate moments.

Monday morning Trev and family arrived for omelets about 9:00 before they headed back to Calgary.

Tuesday was a day to take care of business details and sort through the fridge to decide what food gifts Karen would receive, since there are things we can't take over the border with us. Dominique was working so we just had  Karen over for dinner. We also emailed Lewis and Clark State Park, just outside of Williston North Dakota, to insure they had space for us on Oct 15th. Yes they do.

Wednesday we did a final laundry at Karen's and boiled all our eggs since hard boiled eggs are allowed but uncooked eggs may or may not be refused entry. It is easy being here because anything that we can't take into the states we can leave with Karen.

Tomorrow we head south across the border.
