Such a nice picture!

He left at 2 am and no sleep?????

I enjoyed the visit, as well - Danielle found CR's scrubbies helpful.

I also found that Jason and I have some common interests: I don't think that he got more than a couple of words in edgewise into the conversation.

Ed's sort of full of himself.

Slept in the car a couple of times ...

... but they thought that I was going to my brother's in Regina area (south-east) and I changed plans - went to Saskatoon (north-east) as I wanted to see a former colleague from the Korea days who had a stroke a while ago, plus a former college room-mate, and my niece, plus another former colleague.

Visited a church where I used to lead a youth group (that church burned many years ago) and am visiting my (liberal Protestant) seminary now (grad 55 years ago), hope to visit a couple more long-ago friends, then to Regina later today.

Need to be back in Ont. just after the weekend.

Good wishes to all.

Well Ed, your just a gad about anymore. Enjoy your visits. It's fun seeing everyone you visit.

Jeepers, Ed you should have stayed! I fretted about you driving that long, that late. Well, I'm relieved that you are okay...and not too far away at that! Enjoy your visit and safe travels.

Although we're a tad groggy today we very much enjoyed your visit!

The bag on my lap is a memento of Mom's family's get together at my brother's farm, with colourful illustrations on each side and had a booklet with a short history of the gatherings that have taken place since 1981.

They had a family tree placed all around the walls of the attached garage ... and a very great many of them had a picture of the person attached. What a job!

It was a wonderful weekend.

P.S. For the picture ... you'd think that I could have combed my hair ... and I had about two days of stubble on my face.

It's a good thing for my reputation that it was rather dark!

And, Jason ... after some contemplation beside the road to Outlook ... I drove straight north on that road that you pointed out, till I got to the highway to Saskatoon.

Ed is on a mission...ha...Who needs sleep when you're enjoying life?!...Maybe you'll soon have enough photos for another album...and memories for a diary...(or notebook)

You are lucky to be friends - great picture of you both!

Danielle - considering the time how did you pull off looking so great??? Beautiful smiling face to me!

And Ed - I still want to hug you!

Thank you so much for sharing the pic and the journey. What a lovely experience for all of us!

See, this is not such a big world after all! With places like the KT the world is a happier, safer place to be.

Cheers,
McPeg

Great picture of you both! Sounds like you are having a fun journey, Ed.

Plus, Carol posted two threads, with some pics on each, in case some of you may have missed them.

I'm in Munising, UP-MI, Mon. 10:45 a.m. Eastern, and expect to be home late tonight or tomorrow morning.

About 4,000 mi. so far, I think - and I'll need to change oil before trip to NC.

Well Ed, I must say that you're pretty much exactly as I pictured you!

And I'm not going to make a wisecrack about the good, the bad and the..... :D

NO, I'm NOT gonna do it. I'm NOT!

Well maybe someday when I get a passport I'll make another trip to Canada, but this time eastward!

That's a great picture, even if it was 2 am.

I hope that you Minnesota folks are having a great time today - I'd love to have been there with you.

I didn't mention that the message above was sent from a library near I-75, near London, KY. Being from London, Ontario, I'd gone in there on the same trip, three years ago, wanting to send some messages ... and, thinking that I was in a library, asked to use computer, and for internet access, to be met with some substantial reservations ...

... until I realized that things didn't look right for a library, and, when I asked if it were, was told that, no, ... it was a bank.

So I dug out a one-Dollar and a two-Dollar Canadian coin from my pocket ... which they found interesting, as they'd never seen them.

The library in London is not now operational ... they have a lovely, spacious new County Library near London.

This is on Sunday afternoon, after the conclusion of the Korea Missionaries' Reunion.

I enjoyed the gathering, what little of it I attended - mentioned some aspects elsewhere, earlier (regarding plans for Sunday, I think).

Now off to visit my niece and family in Gainesville, GA.

Good wishes to everyone.

It's confession time, I think.

I've become used to what I look like in the mirror - I wash my face and/or shave ... occasionally.

And I guess thatI haven't seen what I look like in a picture, lately - though I have some pics from the Church family book taken not too long ago, but they look professionally done. And in them, I don't look old.

But when I saw this pic, and the ones from the visit with Carol and Wes ...

... I figure that I look like - an old man!

That's right, an old man.

Not that I've been acting much like it, lately, with all of this gadding about.

I guess that it's about time for a reality check!

Wish me luck for the years ahead, O.K.?

And my good wishes to all of you for an outstanding summer week.

I'm enjoying this adventure of yours Ed. I didn't know you where going to be in London, Ky. though, that is only a couple hours away from me. I love the pictures. It is blasted hot anywhere in Kentucky right now. Good luck with your trip and keep us posted.

I always wondered what Ole Joyful looks like!! Very distinguished and pleasant!! Always enjoy reading his posts and seeing any of the peeps on this neat forum!TFS!!
