What a treat! Our Saskatoon campsite has FREE WI-FI!! (What does the FI mean anyways? Mike McDonald...I know you have the answer for me!) Unfortunately, this means that Michael is totally involved with his mistress, Ms. Web again, but all in all I am happy. It is great to be able to connect again.
Speaking of our new campsite, we have learned a valuable lesson. Campsites built on major highways should be avoided! Yikes! They might as well just put them in between the lanes for all the quiet and solitude they offer. Those big trucks sound like they are going right through our living room. Trust me when I say there is not room for them to do that!
We have spent alot of time with Laura and Paul Bunyan since we got here. It has been really nice. It was good to get out of Tisdale. There is a reason that God has not sent us there to live. I am pretty sure that we would not be married anymore if we had to live that close to the in-laws. It is a real strain on a marriage...that much family togetherness! I had thought about taking the kids to the Forestry Centre today to see the Bengal Tiger, but time is getting away on us and I still need to do some more practicing. Practicing...that's a whole other ball of wax too! On Wednesday morning, my sister called me and said that the only time she could get together with the piano player for Cassie and Jerrod's wedding to practice the two songs that she is singing was at the rehearsal on Friday and she works! Then she says, "I plan to tell her that Gypsies don't work and that you can sing instead." So, long story short, the Gypsy has graduated from funeral singer to wedding singer. One song I have no problem with: Inside Your Heaven by Carrie Underwood, but the other one is "Lost In The Moment" by Big and Rich. I had never even heard the song before, but am well acquainted now! I hope that it goes OK. After the rehearsal this afternoon there is a family vs family ball game. Should be interesting. I'm not yet sure if Gypsies play ball or cheer from the sidelines. One thing I AM sure of though is that Gypsies need to avoid injury! Laura bought us a tambourine to take on The Amazing Adventure with us. Now all I need is a long flowy skirt and the hoop earrings. I guess some bells for my ankles wouldn't hurt either.
Michael thinks the fuel injectors on the truck are acting up again, so it looks like we need to go and spend some time at SMP. This is very very frustrating. It is not easy for me to hold my temper in check at moments like those. I do not enjoy being Lost In The Moment with mechanics that have already had 18 tries at fixing our truck!
So...I guess it's time to get to work. I should probably go and wash the stink off me too. The showers in this place look really nice. Especially compared to some that we have seen so far...but that is a whole other blog! Leave me a message! Gypsies miss their friends!

Neither Shar nor I had ever heard of "Spanx" before your blog... we feel ashamed at our ignorance.
Wi-Fi is a trademark word just signifying a type of radio frequency used in wireless technology, but it is a take off of "Hi-Fi" stereo sound- which stood for High Fidelity sound. The Fi does not technically mean fidelity, but that is where it came from!
oh yeah- Shar wants you to call her- she is planning the school year out and wants to know if you are going to be homeschooling your kids while you are here or taking the whole time off- we will do whatever you do! Also- any idea when you are coming??
we are doing VBS this week and things are really hectic. i will call her asap. i would assume that we will try to do school some of the time that we are there. and then we will take Christmas vacation. i really have no idea. as for when we will get there, gypsies don't really plan that far in advance. we are thinking december-ish so far.
Friends of gypsies miss their gypsie friends, too.
