BC Road Trip Post #7 July 02, 2014
Weather: sunny and cool but warming up to about 24 C in the afternoon.
Wildlife: small song birds and that's about it.
the Day:
After a nice breakfast, we drove down to Saskatoon with Rob and Ruthann to the city of Saskatoon. On the way, we stop in Warman, a small town where Rob works at a building supply company. The town appears to have been built last year - almost all of it is new housing. Across the street from Rob's work we see a pre - fab home building operation like nothing we've ever seen. Entire new lovely homes ready to be transported to - somewhere, complete with windows, doors, trim. There are many many new homes being built in this province.
Stop in Saskatoon at the Mendel Art Gallery for a walk - through - beautiful collection of specific Group of Seven pieces related to work. Effective and so stunning.
Stop for a few errands and a small walk along the banks of the Saskatchewan River, where we see American White Pelicans fishing.
Walk through the university grounds - they are really beautiful, but there is quite a bit of construction happening.
Meet Rob and Ruthann's daughter, Kimberly and son, Matthew for dinner, where Harry meets an on-site windshield repair guy. We ask to have the crack in our new windshield repaired ( we just bought the truck last week) while we are eating.
Nice evening drive back up north to Rosthern and then to a good night's sleep.
Prefab homes reminds Bruce Powley of Mattamy - door frames sag after a while he says. My thoughts on the blog so far are that it documents well not only your scenic travels, but also a memorable time in history where the floods are concerned.
