I'm back. Now I need a rest from my vacation. I also need a new thumb...this one is all swollen. Post hole augers are good toys.
I actually have some distant relatives in a little town NE of Regina called "Southey".
My mother-in-law actually grew up in Southey, although I met Mrs. Rev here. I spent the last week about 45 minutes north of there.
I spent the first week at my father's. I stained his deck, fixed the lights in his basement, fixed leaking underground hoses, and determined that his 1966 Case needs to be traded for something that actually works. My niece's fiance is a mechanic at a John Deere dealership, so he'll figure the rest of that out with my brother.
The second week I went to my mother's. All I really accomplished there was building a fence. It should have been three day's work, but it kept raining. I finished it yesterday morning just before I left.
