I have to admit, I cheated. I read other blogs before I wrote this one, so I got a few ideas. The main thing is we do not live in a town. We live five miles from Swanson, which consists of a hamlet of fourteen houses, including our beloved Villa.
We live four miles from Donavon, which is another hamlet of the same amount of houses. This one includes the RM office and the fire hall, which, side note, our oldest has officially decided to join the fire department. We're proud of him. So ya, that's Donavon.
Then Delisle is about fifteen miles away and has two gas stations and the post office and best of all, the library. It also has the niftiest antique store and coffee shop which I peruse strictly to be with my friends. You all, this is a confession. I'm just not an 'antique' kinda person. I can buy those things and they never look right in my house. Except for the blue jars I got that I keep copious amounts of buttons in. Anyway. Ya. So Delisle is also the little town that Pat's folks moved to when they sold their farm and we love stopping at their place. My boys are so blessed to have a grandpa and grandma close.
Then Saskatoon is about a half hour drive away and that's where I would do all my shopping. And I do love to shop, unfortunately. The South Saskatchewan River runs through Saskatoon and there are neat trails to walk and ride bikes along. There are pretty parks to picnic at and little places like the Bulk Cheese Factory on Broadway and Homestead Icecream on Victory. And if you'd like a taste of the Native land in Saskatoon you could hang out on 20th. I wouldn't really recommend it but you should go to Waneskewin where the historical native stuff is. You could get in on a really Indian dance if you're lucky. We have the basics like Cabela's, Winners, HomeSense.
