What I found out was that Winnipeg closes down on a holiday Monday...today was Labour Day...and nothing was open! Well, I did find a Shoppers Drug Mart open and this particular location sold some groceries so I managed to pick up what I thought was an ice cream cake...as it turned out, it wasn’t...and it wasn’t very good either. I also managed to find some fresh corn-on-the-cob at a roadside stand...so we were good for dinner—steak, nugget potatoes, salad, corn and desert. What I hadn’t been able to get was the special beer Brian drinks or a bottle of red wine for Linda...so I had to make a very embarrassing phone call to Linda—they would bring their own beverages.
Brian and Linda arrived just before 5:30. We had been hoping that it would be nice enough to sit outside but it ended up being too windy, so we sat inside. Steve did a great job barbequing the steaks and we had a lovely dinner. After stuffing ourselves, we decided to go out for a walk so while the coffee was brewing, we had a stroll around the campground. Upon returning, we settled in the comfy chairs for cake and coffee...coffee was good...cake not...oh well.
We had another great visit with the Connelly’s...another great evening!
