Last time we checked in we were in Yorkton with the our friends and here they are- Kerry, Garrett and Liz. They have 4 other children as well but they were at the lake- such lovely people.
The sunflowers are small right n0ow in Manitoba but they sure are beautiful.
All my Dads family lives our west in Manitoba. My Nan has suffered from Alzheimers for many years now but I haven't had the chance to get out and visit her. It was two very emotional trips at the manor but well worth it.
My Dads side of the family had us over for a lovely family BBQ. Luckily all my aunts and uncles could take some time out of their scheduals and make time for me, Mom and Nan. We had such a great afternoon of stories, food and laughter. Wish I was closer to them to see them more often.
It doesn't hurt either that my Aunt Margaret lives right on the Assinaboine River.
Uncle Alberts girlfriend Wendy brought the most delicious cheesecake I have ever eaten. Uncle Bob did a delightful job at the cutting it too....
We left Winnipeg Monday evening and made our way to Grafton ND. On our mid morning stop we found amazing ice cream treats and Mom was super excited about the orange push pop she found.
We stopped in Bemenji ND for lunch and actually were looking for the Bonanza but once we arrived there it was replaced by another restaurant. Just the flowers at the table really set the atmosphere.
From the leather white chairs, the soft rock and the amazing food it was an all around treat.
We made two nice stops in the afternoon at amazing quilt shop and I bought my first quilt kit. Dear Lord what have I got myself into.... ahhhhhh
Meet the atmosphere at Dinner. These beasts starred at me during the whole meal but they weren't our worst guest by far...
On the upside there was an all you can eat taco buffet at $6.99 a plate.
Other guest in the restaurant included two six teen year old girls that were obnoxious and lied to say they were 12 to get the kids all you can eat price. They also were sitting with their grandparents. The grandfather was easy enough but the grandmother she was a real treat. She did a little jig even though she had no teeth...
But the desserts made up for everything else. Peanut Butter frozen pie delicioussss :)
Tommorow we head further down into Michigan
Hope all is well with you xo
