My Winning





I bought tickets on this brand new fridge, it was specially painted with our provinces football team the Saskatchewan Roughriders, it came with two cases of beer and you can see my Mom and Me enjoying the beer, I must say I am the envey of all of my town as everyone wanted this fridge.

Granny Annie's (Diane's Mom) visiting from Fort Nelson June20-July 31st 2011







These are some of the things I did with my Mom when she stayed was us for about 6 weeks in the summer of 2011, I taught her to paint on a miniture saw.

I took her to a town called Eastend in Saskatchewan where you can see a lot of replica's and on going history of T Rex a dinasoaur that roamed this area. It is very interesting to see. We also went to a little museum in this town and I could see it brought back memories to my Mom when she was growing up.

We also took her to the Minninete Village in Swift Current where every summer they have an old tractor/car show, it is really interesting, also have a dog show and there is a very small village you can go into the houses and see how it was long ago. Once you see all of that you can go and get a nice cool sunday to eat so delicious. And if that is not all you can also go and buy some watermelon and a type of German Fry bread, very very tasty as you listen to old time music. A very enjoyable afternoon for sure.

As you enter our town of Ponteix you will see this dinasoar now it was found in our area and its name it MO it is a type of sea serpant and there is little about it known but the museum in Ponteix does have a bit on Mo.

Mom even experienced our local hair dresser an awesome lady who is my best friend's sister. So you can see we had a good time and seen lots of things in Saskatchewan. Thanks for visiting Mom sure loved having you with us.

Quadding in Wasa with Troy and Cyndi


In March of 2011 we went quadding with Troy and Cyndi behind Wasa dump, it was cool and we did have a little snow, a different kind of quadding to what we are used to in Arizona but it was fun.
