Okay, I do realize this blog has been a bit (or completely) neglected, but it was working on this or the homework, and sadly homework won out (well, let's be honest, friends and tv also won out). I also haven't had any pictures to put up... until now. :)Here are some pictures of a couple of weekends ago when I went to Spalding with Jacky and Becca. Spalding is about 2 hours east of Saskatoon, and Jacky had to go home to speak at her church that weekend about her upcoming trip to Amsterdam, so we all figured, why not make it a roadtrip! Becca and I got the best small town experience! Friday night we went to the community fall supper (perogies and turkey dinner... mmmmm), Saturday morning we had the privelidge of going to the town flea market (I actually don't think that's what it's called, as it only happens every once in a while, but that's kind of what it was). The rest of Saturday was spent doing homework (even in Spalding we felt the looming pressure of deadlines), although in the evening we did go to a hockey game... yes, that's right - I, like a good canadian girl, sat in the cold rink and watched a hockey game... well truth be told, we sat inside, watching it from up top for the first period, sat actually in the arena area for the second period, and left for the third. While we were there Jacky's parents treated us so great - every meal made for us (SUCH GOOD home cooking!) and her mom even sent us each home with a whole roasted chicken, a bag of frozen corn, a bag of strawberries, a container of soup and a squash! Mmmmm... food I didn't have to buy or make myself... Truly appreciated! Here are the pics...



Waiting in line at Starbucks... it's not a road trip without coffee!


It's also not a roadtrip without stopping to take pictures with giant things... in this case - giant tire man (and his smaller tire man friend)
