Today is flag day in the US and here we are in the middle of Canada. We are travelling west and passed out of Manitoba into Saskatchewan. This is beautiful country with wheat fields and ponds and lakes. So many ducks and birds. We enjoy the flying antics of the red tailed blackbid and the dramatic beauty of the lark bunting with his white tail and wings.
Lunch today was a real treat. Cafe 54 is in a teeny town called Wynyard and shares a shabby roadside building with a laundromat. Inside it is gourmet. I had the best eggs and hash browns ever and toast homemade from bread full of grains, flax, pumpkin and sunflower seeds. I bought a loaf of bread to take with me and will put my newly acquired Saskatoon jelly on it.
Oh yes we are staying in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan tonight. The Saskatoon berry is made into jellies and pies and tastes real sweet. The city is a little larger than Winnipeg and our campground is lush and lovely. I did laundry this afternoon and met four women all on their way to Alaska. Lots of travelling folks out here. There is also a caravan (convention) here and they had an Elvis impersonator entertain in a huge tent in the rear of the campground.
Now it is 10pm and just getting dark. We were out walking in the cool air and have to sleep and get up early to have our oil changed before setting off.

I heard Elvis was a sucker for Suskatoon pie !!
Safe travels!
Hi Judy and Jeff
This is a really neat thing to do...the blog that is! Of course the trip is amazing too. I was reading a little about Japan and the move to S.C. I honestly felt like I was poking into a private diary, but one that I could relate to. The move that is....we've never been to Japan. So who is your RV? Harvey or Irv? Sorry Jeff but I like Judy's choice better.
Have a great time in Alaska. We're off to Seattle and Discovery Bay in a few weeks for 10 days. See you in Sept.
Laura and Michael
