i am so grateful our passports arrived in time despite my typical laziness for tasks that offer no creativity (also included in this are returning movies to redbox, mailing bills, depositing paychecks and returning library books). so after many hundreds of miles we crossed over to the land of my family.
we’re relishing in family time and brief moments with wifi.
from small town manitoba to big city manitoba, from french fries with gravy to coffee crisp, we made it. my goal and hope and prayer was to see my three living grandparents. as of 12:30 yesterday, it happened. blessed be.

Warmest greetings to Omi, Opi and Nan. Enjoy your time together – and the Tim Hortons.
We drive by your house at Abram’s request just to “check” if you’re home yet. Do you need a meal upon your arrival? Love you all and miss you all.
