View of the day-And the wait continues. The blackbirds have started their work on one of the sunflower heads that is waiting for big red to take it's bounty.
We got up early and loaded up the truck to head back to Yorkton for a couple of days. There wasn't much room for anything after Al had the back seat jam packed with his farm toys. We stopped at Carrington for a quick breakfast snack then headed for Minot. By the time we were half way there, the sun was shining and there wasn't a cloud in the west...they must not have known we were coming.
Marilyn had to stock up on a few things before going back into Canada...and where else to do that, but in Walmart...surprise, surprise. Al went to the liquor store and picked up a bottle to add to his stash at home...Al doesn't drink, but he knows plenty of folks who do...no Coors Light...wonder what that's all about?
Once the quick trip through Walmart was done, it was on to the border and beyond. No problems at the border, we had all our receipts...good thing the duty free limit is up to $400 dollars now...those toys add up. We stopped to grab a coffee where Marilyn's sister Marg was working in Carlyle, then kept on rolling back to Yorkton...the sun shining all the way.
We got home and Al changed the oil on the pickup while Marilyn got ready for her drama rehearsal. Al kept the couch warm by getting caught up on all the Voyager episodes that had recorded since we had been gone, and by the time Marilyn got home at 10:30 there was enough time to get caught up with the latest gossip he had heard and head to bed.
Seems like we were never gone...
