V-A-C-A-T-I-O-N....in the summer sun! That's the first line of the song I sing to myself in the days leading up to my vacation. That song is older than me and I love it.

The anticipation is the best. I've got two weeks off, 16 days in all, starting Saturday.

There are a number of great vacation songs we play on Saskatchewan's Best Music. I think of "Holiday" from Madonna, the Go Go's "Vacation"  and "Holiday Road" by LIndsey Buckingham.

Weyburn local, Pam Scott, left the streets of the community to connect with her family’s history, travelling to Holland for their 80th Liberation Day celebration. Scott explains the significance of the trip comes though her grandparents.  

Her maternal grandfather from the Yellowgrass area, David Robertson, served in World War Two, however, she explains she wasn’t able to hear of his experience as he passed away in the early 1980’s.
