In Regina again

We moved back to Regina on Thursday. The week was pretty much a blur but by Weds. evening the house was empty and clean. We still had some running around to do on Thursday morning but we got on the road before lunch. On Friday father and I went to Agribition. I doubt that he has missed an Agribition since they moved to Regina until last year. We wandered around the barns, found the Horseshoe E crew, had a good visit with Lane and Paula and made our way through most of the ag display area. We gave the slicer-dicers and vegomatic area a pass though.
My sister did most of the heavy lifting to get mother's affairs cleaned up during the week she was out here so our efforts are more in the order of housekeeping and support for father. We've still got a few things to clear up and mainly we're trying to assess how well father is coping.

We've got one more hectic work week coming up and then a week of hard travel before things start to let up. This week we have to be in Saskatoon on Wed for doctor's appointments and on Friday so I can speak to Merv Berscheid's commodity meeting. Saturday we are going to get as far as Brandon where we will stay in Mark & Donna's yard overnight. Then we'll pull a couple of really long days to get around the north end of the lakes. I've got a client to meet with in Ottawa before we get to Quebec for my training session on the 12th. After that we can relax a bit.

It turns out that Marilyn's sister & her husband are going to be in New York right about the time we are going by. Since they live in Tokyo its pretty much of a coincidence that we would both end up that close together at the same time. So we have booked into a campground with a view of the Statue of Liberty and we will spend a few days visiting with them before we move on down the coast. I'd like to stop in Washington, D.C. as well but we'll see how the time goes.
