Day One

 The first time we're venturing out to visit Kaitlynn since she moved out and our first night is spent in Lloydminster where she was born. Chatting with Dale and Denis brought up a few memories that make one's head swim when you think of how much has changed in eighteen years.

The trip here wasn't kind, although it started out beautifully. Todd got us here safely and I tried to keep calm. I've never enjoyed a winter roadtrip, but of course, it's worth it once you get to see your people.

We were barely out of Theodore when we opened the one bucket of Corshy reserved for Todd, Jared and I. The other one, Kaitlynn has to herself if she chooses. Grandma also sent several jars of borscht and a birthday card. So Kaitlynn will be quite surprised.

Louise has passed since our last visit in August, but Jellybean from the hanger has moved in. And does not a home a cat make? She fits in perfectly.

I expected to see more water standing and running in the ditches, but it's already gone.
