First Big Roadtrip!

June 26 was a special day. Isabel made her first trip of out of Regina in nearly three years. She and Rufus travelled on Saturday to the wedding reception of her grand-niece Amanda Froehlich and Dale Chow in Moose Jaw. Lots of careful planning went into this big adventure and the day was a great success all around. Mum was delighted to visit with over 30 members of her Robertson family who ranged in age from 8 to 91. A special surprise was the arrival of our Scottish cousin, James Clark, from Idaho. Faithful Russ the van-driver took a late evening nap while he waited for Isabel who stayed an extra hour than she had planned! She emailed her daughters the next day: "What a great day yesterday!! I am so glad I went. Everything went so well." Prior to the event, she reminded us of the family cake knife and serving knife that have been used at Robertson and Russell family weddings for decades.

As can be expected, Mum had lots to say about the wet fields between Regina and Moose Jaw. Her comment was: "I have seen them on TV, but you have to see it to believe it." Oh, how good to see the prairies and the horizon again.

Gratitude yet again for another wonderful day in Mum's life!
