Thanks to the Creator for a fine Shabbat!
Paul Daniel and I and Sioux the dog went on a pleasant Shabbat canoe trip yesterday. We started in Saskatoon and drifted downriver to the Clarkboro ferry. Once there we decided to keep going another six miles to the home of our friends the McClanahan family. The sun set, and we still weren't at their place, and we weren't even certain that we could identify it from the river. But we saw a light straight ahead, and paddled toward it. As we got to shore a well-marked path loomed ahead, so we climbed the hill, and behold, we were in the McClanahan's yard! Our Father brought us there at the perfect moment. Soon we were in their kitchen, chatting and consuming turkey sandwiches and tea. Then PD's parents came, and we tied the canoe to the van and drove back to Saskatoon. What a day. Perfect weather for canoing. Warm, sunny, and not very windy.
