BACK TO MY ROOTS Had dinner at a cousin's and two of her chidren and their spouses last night in Moose Jaw. It was very enjoyable. Cecile is a great cook and she even tried a new recipe that the "girls" wanted a copy of. I'm preparing to go north to Saskatoon, Debden, St Denis and about 4 other little towns that I've never heard of. My mother was born and raised in Debden. I was there as a 5 year old and also went back as an adult when my grand-father died. So, what is pushing me to go up there.

Glad you're enjoying meeting all those long lost relatives many of whom you have never met before, and sharing stories of yesteryears.

Still have not booked our flights, waiting for a super dupper price which should come next month.
Hope that Ford breakdown was under warranty or else you had to use your casino winnings. I tried accessing your "1st couch surfing experience" without success.
Keep enjoying and r'vient moer pas en famille.
Later little buddy
