Saturday, June 13th, 2015 After a short sleep following our long journey to Moose Jaw, I awoke to the trucks moving once again.  It seemed that the wal-mart parking lot we stopped in the night before wasn’t to be our new home (I’d figured).  If you thought living inside a curling club was pretty zany, wait…

Friday, June 12th, 2015 Today was the day.  We were finally leaving the Brandon Curling Club, and moving on to our next stop, Moose Jaw, Manitoba.  While the prospect of moving on to something new was exciting, it also meant packing up everything we had established the past week.  Here is a little glimpse (in…

Thursday, June 11th, 2015 I am pleased to announce first and foremost, that despite the close quarters, last nights sleeping situation went great (We stayed up late watching tv, then didn’t have to head to our own separate trucks..)!  We slept in until 11:30am, and then got right to work feeding/watering/cleaning the animals!    The…

Wednesday, June 10th, 2015 Today I learned that the truck I’ve been sleeping in this past week is going into the shop to be fixed up.  While on the positive side, this means (hopefully) no more driving complications, it also means that Maddy and I lost our bedrooms.  This called for the four of us…

Tuesday, June 9th, 2015 Today was my first true “day off”, and while I appreciated sleeping in, it was a fools errand trying to avoid boredom.  First I enjoyed a delightful breakfast sandwich on my recently purchased bread. The I read, I watched a movie, I played my melodica (mouth piano instrument) while twisting and…

Monday, June 8th, 2015 Today was my first day “off” since leaving last week, which was very well needed.  I got to sleep in, go grocery shopping, go lumber shopping, watch a movie, and get even MORE sleep.  The big excitement of the day came when we mixed (for the first time) Uno: the Siberian…

Sunday, June 7th, 2015 I have officially been gone from Bowmanville for over a week now.  The time has gone by incredibly quickly, but at the same time, incredibly slowly.  One thing I realized this afternoon was the fact I have been living essentially indoors for 5 days, stuck inside the Brandon Curling Club.  It…

Saturday, June 6th, 2015 As the Manitoba Summer Fair here in Brandon hit its full swing, we had our busiest day yet! We had animal shows at 1pm, 3pm, 5:15pm, and 6:30pm, with lion cub encounters filling every conceivable gap in between.  I was recently given some advice by my father to talk a little…

Friday, June 5th, 2015 Today was our first day with 3 shows and we were on FIRE!  All shows had packed crowds, and were incredibly well received!  Our little lion cub was also very popular at her “meet-and-greet” station.  Tomorrow is calling for some rain, but hopefully that doesn’t keep the visitors away!  I had…

Thursday, June 4th, 2015    I awoke this morning to the peaceful glow of the fluorescent lights in the curling rink, accompanied by the serendipitous bleats of our neighbouring petting zoo’s goats.  The smell was of animals, both inside and out of truck, and the air tasted faintly like wood shavings.  A jumped in my…
