Road Trip

Mom and I hit up the three prairie provinces to make the Thiessen girls reunion complete. All three of us in the same city; a far cry from the different corners of the world we were in just a few months ago. We drove and drove and drove, passing nothing more than wheat fields, bison (seriously), and sleepy prairie towns. I think Germany is beautiful, but it can't compare with the open skies that let you see as far as the eye can see in all directions, where the air is clean and it feels good to breathe deep, and where people at the checkout not only accept MasterCard, but smile and wish you a good day. I almost forgot what that's like.
