Running Back to Saskatoon

I can't help it, every time I get on a plane to come back to Saskatoon this plays in my head:



The song is from 1972 by The Guess Who.  I wasn't born when this song came out - yet ever since I used to take the Greyhound bus back home from University I have hummed this song in my head at least once along the way.

Travis and I were back in Saskatoon for two weeks - and I managed to not take a SINGLE picture!  How does that even happen?  Travis has a bunch on his camera, but he shoots in RAW and I can't read .CR2 files on this computer.  I'll get around to pulling them off on his laptop and converting them so that I can post some soon, but at the moment I get frustrated just thinking about it. :)

We got an enormous amount of wedding planning done while we were there.  Ceremony location, reception location, rentals, flowers, rings, tuxes, etc.  We even managed to visit with a few people and see some friends along the way.  Doing all that planning has started getting me excited!  I'm sure once the wedding gets here it will feel as though time flew by, but for now I wish it was next summer already!  lol

South Carolina - With Pictures!

From November 22 - December 13th I was in South Carolina with Travis to meet and greet his family.  It was a beautiful area with rolling hills, lots of trees, and even a few flowers left for me to enjoy.  (In November!!!)

These are Gerber Daisies from Travis' mom's garden.  Can you believe they look that good that close to Christmas???


We went on lots of hikes, visiting Riley Moore Falls:

Which was gorgeous.  You have to hike down into it, which was different that what I was used to.  The few falls that I had walked to before were all in Alberta - and you always walk UP to the waterfall, and then back down to civilization.  Not so at Riley Moore!

This is from the same day.  After we finished at the Riley Moore falls we still had some time so we walked the Brass Town falls.  They are a collection of three waterfalls - this particular picture is me in front of Middle Brass Town (AKA 2 of 3)


The people that I met were wonderful, and the food was also wonderful.

 

This is a "low country boil" also known as a "frogmore stew".  It doesn't have frogs, and isn't a stew... but meh, there are stranger names in Canada.  It includes baby potatoes, corn on the cob, sausage, shrimp, and crab legs.  It was DELICIOUS!

Isn't this picturesque?  I'm a little sad that the review mirror is in the way - but I figure the picture turned out pretty well considering I was riding in the back of a Jeep while it was moving trying to take the picture.  Such a gorgeous part of the USA!

Had a blast!  Miss everyone there already!!!  Hugs!

Home Sweet Home

Well, I made it!  I arrived in Saskatoon on November 1st and I've been busy ever since.  Ran a bunch of errands when I first got here.  Boring stuff that I'm sure nobody is interested in.  Cellphone, Driver's license,  blah blah blah...

Travis got to town late on the 4th and we've been preparing for this past weekend... my good friend Cheryl and her beau (hee hee) Matt got hitched!

The wedding was beautiful.  Travis was the best man, and I was the Emcee (MC?) at the reception.  A good time was had by all - and the newly weds should be on their way to Jasper by now.  Travis and I are still dealing with the jet lag a bit - now that the wedding is over its sort of like our bodies have allowed us to start feeling it.  Early to bed should help.  Now I just have to deal with all my stuff that is in storage.  Anyone want a kitchen table?  lol
