We have had major storms here in Saskatchewan the last couple of days/nights. But don't get me started on the weatherman! I have as much use for that moron as.... suffice to say, we were unexpectedly awoken at 1:30am when nothing was supposed to happen until 5:30am just an hour before when we went to bed.
Rainbow over the park after a storm yesterday evening
Our friends Linda & Larry were driving through once again on their way home to Ontario so we decided to take them to the Western Development Museum here in Saskatoon which showcases the history of Saskatchewan through the years. Its a fascinating self-guided tour and at $10 for adults it is well worth it in our opinion. There is even a little restaurant in Boomtown where you can have a little lunch before or after looking around, we opted to go to Broadway Cafe today and everyone enjoyed a good old fashioned burger.
Heading in to meet Linda & Larry at the WDM
Haven't even started yet and sitting down already!
Boomtown is an indoor street of houses, shops and services of yesteryear.
Just a little cush before dinner I suppose
The Grocers
Candy display
Side bit with oldies but goodies
Interesting but just setting up so no info
Comfortractor - sooo cute
Details of Comfortractor, worth the read
This old relic isn't likely to be remembered by most.
Jeez talk about making a person feel old.
To see this in a museum made us all laugh.
Original Jeeps?....
2 door on the left, 4 door on the right...
Obviously not, but that's what they looked like to me.

Took Robbie to the Doggie wash after having lunch with Linda & Larry. He hates having a bath so when I want a picture, he gets all pouty and won't look at me.
We had a great time with great friends. So glad they took some time in their travels to spend with us both coming and going... Really love these two (you too Jake :D) Hope to see them again next month when we travel through Ontario to the East coast and back.
