August 28


View of the day-A blast from the past near Alameda, SK!

No rain today...well after 3am anyway...which meant we got to sleep in a bit and then it was a "super do nothing" day.

Al and Kim went out to Kim's 2388 combine and did some tinkering around, fine tuning it for when it would crank up again. Marilyn and Gordie went to Estevan to get the Walmart fix in.

Gordie(12) is used to shopping with his mother, not so much of a leisurely shopper. Marilyn on the other hand likes to cover every aisle, and check out bargains that she couldn't possibly live without. We didn't leave until 2:30pm for Estevan, so the trip was a short one as we got home before dark. It was an early night for Gordie...tomorrow he starts 7th grade in Carlyle...high school (it is there, anyway).

We didn't see anyone making dust in our travels. The rain gauge in the yard showed just under a half an inch, but the sun shone and the wind blew most of the afternoon. The forecast is for the high 80's Thursday and Friday, but who can tell.

Although, it was a Tuesday forecast, so there is hope...
