MOOSE JAW, SASKATCHEWAN

WE DECIDED TO CHECK OUT THE HISTORIC TOWN OF MOOSE JAW.  WE HEARD ABOUT A BIG MOOSE STATUE BUT YOU’LL HAVE TO WAIT FOR THAT PHOTO AS I AM SAVING ALL THE ‘WORLD’S BIGGEST’ STATUES FOR AN UPCOMING BLOG…. HA HA.

IT WAS A BLEAK DAY BUT A BIT WARMER THAN YESTERDAY AND THE ROADS WERE STILL CLEAR AS WE HEADED OVER TO THE TOWN.  IT TOOK US ABOUT AN HOUR.

WE SPENT MOST OF OUR TIME THERE WALKING AROUND AND TAKING PHOTOS .

LUNCH WAS EATEN AT THE ‘UPTOWN CAFE’ WHICH WAS A DINER DRESSED UP TO LOOK LIKE AN ALPINE CHALET BUT DECORATED WITH CHINESE LANTERNS . WEIRD BUT IT HAD TASTY SANDWICHES. 

AFTER ANOTHER WALK ABOUT IT WAS TIME TO HEAD BACK TO REGINA IN TIME FOR MUCH NEEDED MASSAGES. I CAN ALREADY FEEL MINE WORKING SO I AM VERY HAPPY.

WE THEN TOOK IN THE MOVIE ” JO JO RABBIT ” .  WE BOTH LIKED THIS STYLIZED, DARK COMEDY.  BUT BE WARNED THAT YOU WILL FEEL CONFUSED AT FIRST WITH THE THEME REVOLVING AROUND HITLER.  NOT TO WORRY THOUGH BECAUSE THERE ARE MANY LESSONS TO BE LEARNED BY THIS 10 YEAR OLD, GERMAN BOY WHO IDOLIZES HEIR HITLER.  I WAS BROUGHT TO TEARS TWICE BY THE END AND FEEL IT WAS QUITE POWERFUL IN ITS POSITIVE TEACHINGS DESPITE THE UNCOMFORTABLE START. 

TOMORROW WE HEAD OFF TO LLOYDMINSTER  AND OUR LAST SHOW OF THIS PART OF OUR CANADIAN TOUR.  I CAN’T BELIEVE IT . OUR SHOW WILL BE IN A PLACE CALLED PARADISE HILL.   ARE WE REALLY GOING TO BE SLEEPING IN OUR OWN BED THIS WEEKEND?
