Mini Vacay

Last week I was able to travel to Saskatchewan to visit J's grandmother. What a great experience. I have only ever been out that way once before, for a soccer tournament when I was 16.

Here are some of the main points of the trip:

• Saskatchewan is seriously flat. 
• The drive is SO boring. And looong. 
• We stayed in an old folks home. I had no idea you could even do that! 
• J's grandmother is one of the most precious people I have ever met. She is in her 90s and still has a good head on her shoulders. I am so happy to have been given the opportunity to have met her. 
• I went out to J's farm - it was so beautiful. The house was built in 1905 and they had a bunch of old barns and tractors. 
• I got to shoot a gun for the first time! I shot a giant shot gun that had a bitch of a recoil. It slipped when I pulled the trigger and actually hit my bicep, not my shoulder. My arm instantly went numb and I had a giant bruise. 
• I then got to shoot a rifle which was soo easy in comparison. 
• I GOT TO DRIVE A TRACTOR! A FUCKING TRACTOR! 
• Some of the trees on J's farm were hit by lightening and we charred all the way up. So neat. 
• Small town people are SO friendly. 
• We rented a canoe and J took me around the lake in it.
• I am so country! 
• But not actually. My boyfriend is though. 
• I had such a great time <3
• Then we came back to Calgary to see all the fake cowboys and cowgirls that were out for Stampede. 

Welcome to Saskatchewan...
