"Nostalgia"

Readers will wonder why this image is on a Prince Albert Blog. Well, a couple of reasons. The young lady on the front-right, Alli, is a native of Prince Albert. She absolutely loves Ukrainian dancing. She invited me to Saskatoon's Persephone Theatre to see her dance group perform their farewell performance before they set off for a US/Canadian tour. The show was spectacular. Colourful, energetic, fantastic choreography with wonderful music. They leave next weekend for a 2-week tour, visiting Chicago, Pittsburgh, New York, Montreal and Toronto. I'm sure the audiences will be spellbound in every location.
Good luck, Alli, and 'break a leg'

Monday is Zen Day

Zen Monday is the day you experience the photo and give me your thoughts rather than me telling you what the photo's about.

As I post each new Zen photo, I'll add a label to last week's to identify it if necessary (and if I know what it is).

Last week's photo was the sundial sitting in front of Gray's Funeral Chapel. The time shown from the sun's shadow was wrong by at least 90 minutes.

Dief's PA home

Located at 246 19th Street West, Diefenbaker House is a museum housing many of the Chief's artifacts. He and his wife, Olive, resided here when he was in Prince Albert. John George Diefenbaker was Prime Minister of Canada from 1957 to 1963.

The museum is open throughout the summer.

My favourite city garden

Took a ton of work to place all the rocks, but the dividend is a beautiful garden that doesn't need much maintenance.

My favourite Watering Hole

Jessica always serves with a smile whatever your order - coffee, tea, a sticky cinnamon bun, a wrap or a light meal. The hospitality at Shananigan's on the corner of 20th Street and 6th Ave W, Pr Albert, is always friendly, and manager Randy tells me their policy is to support Fair Trade suppliers. Naturally, my coffee order is always an Ethiopian tall.
I usually drop in during the afternoon to relax and read the Daily Herald.

Enough is enough is enough!

Not a pretty sight! This image was taken last Saturday. It rained most of last night and just about all day today, so I imagine the flood is now like Candle Lake!!
I'm sure the folks living along 28th West are pretty sick of the situation as well as the contractor and his crew. The project should have been completed by now. There's been a 'boil water' advisory for the residents for over a month.
C'est la vie!

The photo below is the plaque below the statue at Prime Ministers' Park that was featured in the last Zen Monday.
