Heritage Park Part 5 – The Rest Of The Story.

(Slight delay – had a 3 day outing that delayed the final post on Heritage Park)… And so, to finish the tour… In this final portion of the tour, we covered the settlement community, the midway,  and a few miscellaneous ends. Again, the displays were masterfully done.  They cover the fort, cabins, a soddy,...

Heritage Park Part 4 – The Newspaper Office

Okay, this part of the tour was supposed to be about a 30 second peak in, and move on. Perhaps especially with the world of blogging being a form of media publication for the new century, it brought special meaning to me to think of the process required to do this simple process we...

Heritage Park Part 3- Wainwright Hotel and Surrounding Area

After examining all the vehicular displays we moved on to the rest of the park.  ….. Which is no small task either. There are a few time periods represented in the park.  It used to be three, but I think a 4th has been added near Gasoline alley.  Basically, they are settlement, turn of...

Heritage Park, Part 2

… and so we finally left the Gasoline Alley, entered the main facility.  Again, there was a lot more to see, so I will continue to break down the post and galleries within.  This portion is just the steam train, the static train displays, and the paddle wheel.  Again, this portion of the day...

Heritage Park, Gasoline Alley Part 1

Time Doing What Time Does Best…

Glancing at the calendar seems to have a more frequently occurring reaction as I get older – the, “Did I blink and miss something??” effect.  It isn’t quite Rip Van Winkle, in intensity, but it just seems like you just get organized at a location and get the feel for it, and it is...

Answer About Mexican Dental Work

I had an inquiry from a follower in facebook about why I didn’t include a dental visit to the day.  Valid point, as the cost is significantly reduced if you don’t have coverage at home. There are a couple points as to why I didn’t.  First off, I was on a tight clock.  The...

Well, the storms seemed to blow itself out around 9:30 last night. We sure were rocking during some of the bigger gusts. As one of the fellows I met at the dumping station this morning put it, “It was raining sideways”. Since I have been 3 days overdue to do laundry, I decided that...

Today was another putter about town day. We ran into both our neighbours while milling about. You know you are localized to a town when you recognize people while shopping. We then visited with family in town, and had a nice leisurely afternoon. When we got home, we brought in the day’s purchases, and...
