Recently, in the windy chilly late afternoon, we had our last couples’ night at the Waskesiu Golf Course in Waskesiu, Saskatchewan.

It is sad to say that the last of the antique tiles from the upper balcony of the apartments have also been replaced. We loved the red, octagon look but time had taken it’s toll on them and it was time to say Adios. The upper balcony now has a terracotta color tile to compliment the balcony below.
