a couple new experiences

OK, first things first...the fridge still doesn't work. After last weekend, we did some more internet research and went out to the site on Wednesday to try the potential fixes (and get devoured by mosquitoes). When we left on Wednesday the E0 error code had changed to E1 so we had hope that maybe the fridge would work off of power and start cooling. It didn't. We arrived on Friday evening to E0 again.

Fortunately, we anticipated this and we brought out a bar fridge from James' office. Voila! Bar fridge in shed.

So, we still have to deal with the fridge but at least we have something in the meantime. 

Seba Beach was very quiet this weekend - especially the market Saturday morning. The kettle corn guy wasn't even there. That's weird! We made a few purchases and wandered downstairs to the thrift store. There are always interesting/creepy things to look at - not buy!

She may find her way in to your nightmares tonight

Walking back to Shadybrook we decided to stop in at the library. This is what we learned on our first visit to the Seba Beach Library: 
- they have free wifi
- they have two computers (with teenagers attached playing video games)
- memberships are free
- they have lots of DVDs
- their tracking systems are a tad loose

I walked out of there with a set of DVDs by just writing my name on a piece of paper. 

We headed back to the campsite and picked up the Tails for our first hike of the season at Pembina River. There were lots of people floating on the river and having picnics. 

Saturday night Val brought over dessert and a card table (complete with Saskatchewan Roughrider Pil "tablecloth") to play a card game she has been telling us about. It's a rummy type game called Sticks. It was a lot of fun and with the summer solstice a week away, we have 17 hours of daylight. That means lots of daylight for card playing!

Note the dripping candle chianti wine bottle. We are going to make one for our site too!

We also enjoyed the drink of the week, a light refreshing summer drink -  Strawberry Rhubarb Rose Sangria. The review is here. 

Sunday was Father's Day. My dad loves the outdoors and most of our family vacations  growing up involved camping. James' family had a boat on Lake Ontario so his "camping" was on the water. Thank you to our dads for all memories of fun times outside

To celebrate Father's Day, we headed over to Kokanee Springs (the campsite beside Shadybrook) for brunch.

The squirrels at Shadybrook continue to taunt Phin and Westley. Don't underestimate the Tails...they are creating an underground movement to defeat the squirrel. The Squirrel Squad.

Another weekend seized!
