Day 31, July 14 – Sunday
Chetwynd is known for its chainsaw wood carving contest in the second
week in June. This is the event we had
just missed a week late on our way north so we decided to come back on our way south and look at the sculptured
pieces. There are 130 plus
sculptures which have been distributed around the city. They are placed at businesses and parks and the city
had developed a map with pictures of each sculpture and either walking or
driving directions. They still have
sculptures on the main highway to draw visitors attention, which it does, for you see, we
are back.
I believe June and Anna have taken all the pictures of the wooden sculptures. Anna said she
will give a presentation on her trip at her church but she is only allowed 3
minutes. THIS WILL BE AN IMPOSSIBLE
FEAT. There is NO WAY Anna can do
that. However, Anna has Plan B. Plan B will be to have the pictures all
printed and everyone can view the pictures and ask her questions. I see Anna spending one hour at least explaining
the pictures. It may take several years
to explain all the pictures. Anna is
having a great time.
Let me tell you about our dinner plans. When we reach our day destination, sometimes
the question will be, what do you (John, Anna, Conne, June) want to eat? And usually the answer has been, I don’t
know. One person in our group is always
on the lookout for Golden Corral Buffet, another person maybe looking for fried
chicken and the other two are just puzzled at the question. Well in Chetwynd we saw a sign that said
“Buffet” Friday and Saturday, 5:00pm – 9:00pm.
The time was 4:30pm so we had ½ hour to kill or wait. So we went chainsaw sculpture sighting. After a while, we decided it was at least
5:00pm so we went back toward the restaurant.
We found another restaurant on the way and decided to look at their menu
before we decided to eat. We went next
to the Buffet Restaurant and compared the two menus. The choice was given and no one wanted to
make the call, so we flipped an imaginary coin and the restaurant that won was
NOT the Buffet one. Needless to say,
someone had a very strange look on his face thinking we were going back to the
buffet restaurant. Sometimes you buffet
and sometimes you don’t.
Speaking of food, you never know what your meal really will
look or taste like. Believe me here, I
have had many surprises. Even breakfast
items, simple breakfast, eggs, bacon, sausage, fried potatoes, the basic
breakfast items can be a surprise - another personal lesson I’ve learned.
That saying, you can’t teach old dogs new tricks is so
untrue. Not only have I learned new
tricks, but the tricks keep coming.
God has a lot on His hands.
Pray that He survives.
hahahahahaha
