Jordon finally posted some of our Thanksgiving photos from the lake to Flickr. Despite being the middle of October, it was cold out. When we got to the cabin, inside was at freezing and with four heaters, it took around 5 hours to warm up to 20 degrees Celsius. Once night came the heat dropped down to about 18 degrees but that was find with us. We have a radiant heater that we direct towards Mark and Oliver at night and sleep as comfortable as they do at home. Jordon and I hunker down under a big pile of blankets and rely on the dogs for some extra heat as well.
Jordon and Mark went for a long walk along the beach and throughout Arlington Beach. Mark was walking along the beach and fell into the lake. We aren’t sure how that happened and even Mark was laughing at the idea that he fell into the lake. He got his feet wet but that was about it. Oliver and I stayed inside. It was too cold and I didn’t want him to get sick.
On Sunday, we drove to Regina and ran some errands. I am the world’s worst packer and had to run to Dollarama to get some stuff. The good news is that they had yoga pants for $2 and I found a pair there that fit me as I forgot to pack enough pants for me. As you can see the from the video, we ran into a train on a very, very quiet prairie highway on the way back to the cabin.
Later that Sunday, we headed over to Kinney Memorial Lodge for a wonderful Thanksgiving feast with about 200 of our closest friends. The meal cost us $16 per person but it was worth it as it was a great evening. There was turkey, ham, mashed potatoes, yams, turnip puff, and a lot of salads and desserts.
We sadly closed up the cabin that weekend for the winter and headed back to Saskatoon. We hope to be back in early April. Hopefully the weather agrees with us.

Sounds like a good end to your season. We are so lucky to be able to stay in our cabin all year. It is starting to get cool, but the woodstove does fine for us. Right now we are letting it run out during the night and starting it back up in the morning. When it gets colder one of us has to get up in the middle of the night to feed it once. But with our heavy comforter we are plenty warm in bed. Of course, in the morning we both wait for the other one to move first. Kind of a winter game. - Margy
The plan is to insulate next spring and then add a wood stove then. While the floor will still be cool, with the stove we should be able to go up and spend the occasional weekend there in the harsh Saskatchewan winter.
