Last night Brenda received a phone call saying she had a doctor's appointment on Thursday. Of course, she could have put it off but we decided she should fly home so we made arrangements for her to fly from Regina tomorrow morning back to Toronto. She would return on Friday to Fort McMurray. I would continue the drive and meet her in Fort McMurray.

The prairies despite their flatness are really quite beautiful with big skies, interesting cloud formations and the colours of the wheat and other crops on the ground. As Regina was only about 350 km from Brandon we had a short day. Difficult to find a hotel room as there were a lot of conventions in town. Finally we found a room at the Super 8 not far from the airport. This was important as Brenda's flight was at 6:30 in the morning and we did not want a long drive to the airport. Did a little shopping since we arrived early over at the local big box malls.
