Oh, Canada!!

Manitoba -- Saskatchewan -- Alberta -- 

British Columbia --Yukon --

Miles to go and moving forward! 

Day 4 - May 12 

Despite rainy weather and with passports in hand,

we crossed the big border!

For the next two days we trekked through the most amazing farmland I have ever seen  - 

thousands and thousands of acres of freshly plowed, coal-black dirt - 

on both sides of the road as far as the eye could see.

Tried to take pictures but there was no way to capture the vastness of the scene.

Sam Breidt challenged Bob to kiss a bear, but, try as we might, this is the best we could do in Manitoba and Saskatchewan.

This bodacious bag of bison

is more ferocious than meets the eye.  Take a careful look at the close-up, and you will see why:

Yes it is --- BARBED WIRE!!!

Bet the sculptor wore gloves  - - -  or suffered mightily!

Nooo, not here.

Still looking!

Happy Mother's Day, Marilee!

A lovely dinner in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan

(How's that for a mouthful!!!)

Thank you to so many for special calls and texts!

What a way to celebrate two special days this May!

Emily, this one's for you!!!

Couldn't find a Denny's anywhere

so Humpty's will have to do.
