Try again
I just returned home from a fun week in Saskatchewan, it was agribiton week in Regina and that means a great oppurtuinity to see lots of friends and interesting things, and interesting friends. I stayed with my daughter and son inlaw, a new experience that was just great! It doesn't seem all that long ago that I was the new son inlaw trying to figure out what a mother and father inlaw was all about. I was reminded of what wind can do to make it feel so much colder than it actually is. I learned that the guy who judges cattle doesn't always see what I see, there is probably some life lesson in that. I enjoyed the sense of community that exists in the agricultural world, you can hardly get anywhere without having to walk around friends that are stopped talking with people they may not have seen for a year. I heard stories of victory and stories of stuggles, I heard stories of healing and stories of hurting. For a week I got to be a part of a community that I don't live in but that I get to be a part of. What a treat!
