"...And they admitted that they were aliens and strangers on earth. People who say such things show that they are looking for a country of their own. If they had been thinking of the country they had left, they would have had opportunity to return. Instead, they were longing for a better country—a heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God, for he has prepared a city for them." Hebrews 11:13-16

In Grande Prairie

The trip to Grande Prairie reminded me of the things that I love most about Canada. The immense, forever changing sky and my favorite season autumn. I'm a real cloud watcher so when I was in Sri Lanka I missed the sky and clouds in Saskatchewan. Driving from Saskatoon to Grande Prairie was an excellent opportunity for me to catch up on time missed. The scenery was amazing with the changing colors of the trees, red, orange, yellow, purple and the ever green. I fell in love with autumn all over again.

Grande Prairie has changed so much since I lived here as a kid. I love driving by businesses that are still here and favorite spots around town. The memories come flooding back in. Some happy, some sad and some that I just shove back down because I'd rather forget them.

It's my sister's wedding in a couple of weeks, October 8th. I'm really looking forward to sharing some more good memories here in GP with old friends and family.
