Milton up a tree and other Saskie adventures
Note to self:
If you ever consider taking Milton out on a picnic again
don't tie him to a tree. This will happen.
You will try to get him down, but he won't budge.
Eventually you'll have to wait for him to take his own sweet time to get down.
But anyway,
this is our week of visitors! First up: Mom! Hooray! After braving the gawdawfully early morning flight from Calgary, Mom arrived this morning. We headed down to Wascana Park, stopping first at the church to show off Jimmy's grownup office. We explored the Royal Saskatchewan Museum--always fabulous--and then had a lovely patio lunch. We took a tour of the Sask Legislature, which is remarkably opulent (Swedish, Italian, Cyprian, Canadian, and American marble!) and quite large, especially considering that this is a province of only 975 000 or so. We saw all the essential things, like the busts of Tommy Douglas
and Dief the Chief,
as well as a portrait of a stogie-puffing premier.
Important Saskie artifacts are preserved at the legislature, such as the hallowed curling rock
and the ubiquitous sheaf of wheat.
Now that's Saskatchewan right there.
It was quite a fruitful afternoon, as James found a new job as Speaker of the Legislature.
We toured the Queen Elizabeth gardens, yes, wot, I do say, indeed.
The evening will bring a walk in the park and likely some Gilmore Girls. Tomorrow morning we see visitor number two: Karim!

This is probably my favorite blog of all time! You guys rock the set! I am especially fond of the "ubiquitous sheaf of wheat." But hey now, don't forget to take a picture beside Mac the Moose in Moose Jaw. Then you can compare it to Regina's biggest... biggest... oh ya, they don't have the world's biggest anything... May I suggest a big dirty cracked hoe???
Glad to hear that y'all are livin' it up in the promised land. I want to cross over into camp ground...

That's awesome that you took Milton on a picnic. I am glad to see that you both seem to be having a good time exploring Regina together.
