Thursday

We had a busy Tuesday in Estevan, visiting a coal fired power station in the morning were they are about to employ carbon dioxide capture on one of the burners, followed by a trip to the boundary dam coal mine.

Before the mandatory next phase of eating we to the local court house for a quick tour before a sentence of more eating was delivered by the local Queen’s Court judge. After a healthy meal of trans fats free fries and cholesterol reduce gravy we made our to our vocational visits.

Hilda and I went to the local credit union (Spectra) and Lisa went to the local hospital foundation. Bob went to a funeral home and Bec visited a school. I had a great time with the head of IT at Spectra and then the HR people. I got to use my jargon to people that understood me! I was very impressed with both functions of Spectra and really had a great time.

On Wednesday we made our way to Hudson Bay, which is formally known as Hudson Bay Junction as it’s a where the rail lines meet and on the way to the port at Churchill which is only open 3 months of the year. We learnt about the how beavers build dams and saw some on their handy work!

After settling in here we made our way to Don and Alana’s cabin by Ruby Lake for supper. We ate like kings and sat around the beautiful lake and watch the sun set. Fortunately Don is a doctor and he said it was fine to have 2 servings of dessert, so it would have been very silly to disregard the Doctor’s advice!

We are having a wonderful time here and hope all is well at home!!!
