The Last Supper

WHERE ARE WE?           Our Daughters house in Rivers Manitoba Canada   

NEXT DESTINATION?    Somewhere in southern North Dakota or northern South Dakota

Today was a clean up day.  A day to do all those jobs that a procrastinator like myself is forced to do at the last minute.  Store everything away and board up the windows and doors to keep old man winter out.

Our Travel Plans Revealed

WHERE ARE WE?           Rivers Provincial Park, Rivers Manitoba Canada   

NEXT DESTINATION?    Bismark North Dakota,  Thursday Oct 17

Well folks, I guess it is about time that I give everyone a little heads up on our travel plans for this winter.  As you can see by the countdown on the side bar we should be on the road by now.  Well that didn't happen because we had some things to finish up and Pat and Harold had some things to do too, so we are planning to head out on Thursday morning.  But first we have to catch up on what happened in the past week or two.  We got to celebrate a birthday for our youngest grandchild, Max.   Kaitlyn rented a room at the rink and we had a gathering.  Nicole brought Abby, Silas and Emma to join us.  We all had a fun day.

Soon time to head South.

Here is another quick story of what we have been up to since the last blog.  August was a little slower at the Ice Cream Shack and the September long weekend was a little dreary so we did our best to go out with a bang.  The weekend after the long weekend is officially our shut down date.  Thanks to all of our loyal customers and friends for a great season.

Where has Summer gone?

Summer here at Rivers Provincial Park is drawing to a close.  We are starting to have some fall weather with some rain and wind.  We have 2 more weeks to have the shack open and then it is time to board up the windows again.  We have had a good time this summer with all of our kids and grandkids around us from time to time.  I don't know why any kid would want to spend time here when all there is to do is swim and boat and mini putt and eat ice cream for breakfast.  We know we spoil all of them but the memories made here at the shack will last a life time we hope!!

A fun time with friends

Harold and Ed and I were allowed to slip away for a little while last Saturday to attend the airshow at the Commonwealth Air Plan Museum in Brandon.  I like to go because I have a little love of aircraft and know some of the people involved with them.  The museum itself is quite well done and worth having a look at.
