Arrived at my cousin Viola's place just after 4 pm - she had made a lovely dinner of perogies, ham, etc. etc. After the dishes were done we drove into town (Winkler) to visit her sister, Luella - we had a lovely visit and then we went to the Winkler Heritage Museum and spoke with the curator - my mother's 90 year old white broadcloth and lace breadspread ( which she made herself for her trousseau) will eventually be donated to this museum - both my parents were born and raised just a few miles outside of Winkler on farms - although they moved to a few other places, they moved back to Winkler in their later years and are buried there - this is a much more appropriate place for it. Then we went back to Vi's house and reminisced over a glass of wine.

Drove into town again to pick up a watermelon and then drove to Carman to visit Vi's sister, Kathleen - Kath and Vi immediately got busy making Roll Kuchen and so we had Roll kuchen and watermelon for lunch what a delightful treat! Then we traipsed through three cemeteries, before going back to Kathleen for Vi's home made 'bean' soup' for dinner. After we got back to Vi's, we looked at pictures etc. over another glass of wine - Does it get any better? Thank you, Kathleen and Vi for a wonderful day.

Back to Winnipeg - met my long time friend, Gladys at the Salisbury House - how Dan & I used to love those Salisbury nips! Did I have one? You bet! Spent the afternoon at her house with our feet up and yakked and yakked! For dinner we went to the Olive Garden - my birthday is in May and hers in June, exactly one month apart, so we slid the check across the table and treated each other for our birthdays!
Another great day! Thanks Gladys.

Was just going to get ready to go to St. Bernadette's for Mass when Linda & Gary came for coffee - I had picked up some Roll Kuchen in Winkler so we had them with our coffee. Off to Gimli.
So long and God Bless! ~D~
