I should have waited on posting that as we are not leaving till Saturday.
The Auzzies( acturally retired Americans), fly in Saturday from Florida where they are visiting her mother and the MooseJaw friends fly in Sunday so will meet up Monday and terrorize Dallas and FtWorth starting Monday.
Of course the ladies will be shopping scrapbook shops and there is a bunch in that area. Us Guys, well, Bet we can find some trouble and probably won't be hard to find. At Least there is a Big Bass Pro in Grapevine Tx about 20 miles away.
AND, I will be taking some carving stuff with me so I can entertain myself whenever and where ever.
Those Texans do look at you funny when you are sitting on a bench, spitting and whittling. Tobacy and chips all over their sidewalks.
Ah, remember Gramps with his chaw and whittling. That man could spit a steady stream for sure.
He had a mixture of 3 different kinds of chewing tobacco. Taylor pride, Red man and Mail Pouch. He said they all had different flavors(eh Gads), and combining them made for a healthy Chaw. WHAT? Chewing tobacco is healthy. Guess so, he live to be 93 and chewed since he was 5, so he said. Of course, him being from the back hills of Kentucky maybe so. Never knew if Gramps was telling the truth or not in all the stories he told.

He moved to Kansas when he was a teenager as he was kicked out of his house when he was 13, so he said.Never met my great grandparents on his side as he said they were mean spirited people.
Now I did see him soit a wad in to the mouth of an old duck he had, the duck would sneak up on you and peck you. As a little kid that hurt. One day, Gramps was sitting there sitting and whittling, and the duck, took a nip of Gramps' ear, Gramp let out a hollar and grab that duck my his neck, forced open the duck's beak, and spit. Then he let that duck go. That duck did the strangest things but he never pecked on any one again.

Kenny,
You will be missed, who is going to keep Hi-Ho in check when your not around? Have a safe trip and enjoy Dallas, Fort Worth. Just drove through Moosejaw last week not much there except a big Moose sculpture. Boy is that part of the country flat. Have one for me at Billy Bob's reputed to be the largest country and western bar in the world. When I was there they had a rodeo right in the bar. Love all those stores in the "Stockyards" I am sure you will have a great time. Stay in touch if you can.
Colin

I have to disagree with your statement of "not much there" in MooseJaw. I was born there and I think if you had taken the time to stop instead of "driving through" you would feel differently.

Only thing I know about MJ is it is in the middle of nowhere, flat, and have to drive at least an hour to get to anywhere. So our friends tells us. Will be finding out more when we see them Saturday evening. I guess it is all of our turn to visit eachother in MJ next year but think we will wait till July.
Now back to packing and loading up!

Didnt mean to offend you Bandaid didnt know it was your home town. I live in Thornton, Ontario not much here either probably less than in Moosejaw. Just commenting that there doesnt seem to be much in Moosejaw. I have visited there a few times did my basic training in Regina. I once stood on roof of one of the buildings of the RCMP Academy and watched a storm approach from the west for hours was probably the most awsome thing I have ever watched you could see it coming for probably a hundred miles it was that flat.
