Yesterday was Joseph's annual Valentine's pool party. The free beer and margaritas were a great draw, along with the potluck appetizers. The windy conditions did not hinder the party atmosphere nor did the fact that the park ran out of the proper margarita ingredients. The party was scheduled from 2:00 - 5:30, but I'm sure it lasted much longer as the crowd hadn't thinned out much when we left. We moved our small party around a neighbour's fire just to stay cosy.
Someone did a walk-about to count the number of Canadians in this park and it turns out 85% are from Canada - most are from BC. There are only two units from Saskatchewan, although many of the people from BC call Saskatchewan home. In fact, we talked to a woman from Vancouver who grew up in Eston and it turns out Fred's dad bought land from her uncle (Pat Carlson) in the 1960's. She is a McBain and has family in Kindersley. We also talked to a woman from BC whose sister and husband are moving from the States to work in Kindersley - Director of West Central Crisis Centre. Small world.
I will be thinking of everyone who has to go to convention in Saskatoon. For those who get the week off, enjoy.

How come you have two beers in front of you when everyone else has one?
That's pretty alert for an old fart. I just happened to be thirsty.
Actually, I was holding one for Fred.
