Rocanville














The rest of the weekend was enjoyed in the sun. The picture of the red bush is just for you Billie. Because it was a very warm weekend the garter snakes were out sunning themselves on the road. We did our part in running over as many as we could. But first I had to take a picture. EWWW I don't like snakes. Always seem to end up at the crazy critter land enjoying time with Lady the friendly pet raccoon. It is so fun playing with her. She loves to have her tummy rubbed and all the attention. She is weighing in now at 30 pounds. Hope to see her a few more times before she goes into hibernation. Billie loves catching frogs and found a leopard frog to catch. I on the other hand would let the frogs hop away and just play with Lady. Lady also loves to chew on your finger. Now how many people can say they've had a Raccoon chew their finger. It is just so much fun. Can't wait to see her again.

Rocanville Potash Mine































This past weekend I had the privilege of touring the Potash mine in Rocanville. It is something I have wanted to do since I was a little girl. What a neat experience. Mining is huge and I found it very interesting. The only disappointing thing was we didn't drive to the top of the salt pile because it was too foggy that morning to see anything. First we toured via bus the outside parts and the new shaft they are building. Next tour was the mill tour and the last tour was the underground tour.

United Way Kick Off



Learning Disabilities Association is a United Way Funded Agency. So we always get to take part in the United Way Kick Off. Hitting the streets and waving. So this year I had fun with it and went in my hunting outfit. Notice no one is waving with me they all deserted me for some reason.

September Long Weekend






Well my dear family loves to paint it seems. So the September long weekend again found me in the painting business. This time the fence at home needed to be painted. You can see I'm not such a great painter with the amount that ends up on me.....or was that you Billie!!!!!
