prairie home and back

May longweekend was a10 hour trip to Regina to see Debbie and Kaytlin.  The trip was full of memories:  grasshopper splats on the windshield, potholes, ghost towns, Bison and TransX semis, prairie dog holes, antelope, memories of Mom, Dutch elm disease signs, children asking, "How much longer?", blue skies with white fluffy clouds building up for a thunder storm, and coming back home to the mountains.
