We did indeed make it to Denver, then on to Manitoba. We weren't impressed with the service of United however. I tried many different ways to get seat assignments ahead of time, but it just didn't work. Not at the United desk in the main terminal, not at the desk at the gate our plane left from.
In fact, the guy manning the desk at the gate didn't show up until maybe half an hour before the plane was due to leave, and there were at least a couple dozen people that needed help with their ticketing. It was a mess.
At least the planes left on time, and arrived on time, so although we got to Manitoba later than originally planned, we did get there!
The temperature is about 30 degrees cooler here! We've been enjoying the milder weather here, and longer days. And of course, visiting!
Yesterday we just hung out around the house. There is a big field planted with soybeans behind the house.
On behind the field are more fields that were used for hay.
Today there was a family wedding here, so our 4-year-old granddaughter, Ellie, had her hair done for the first time. We went to a park to get some pictures of her. They had some beautiful beds of flowers.
I realize I'm biased, but I think our our little princess outshone the flowers.
Ellie and The Farmer/Grandpa took a break and sat on a bench for a while.
And lastly, with a good lesson for us all. . .
. . . Always take time to stop and smell the flowers!

Hooray! Enjoy your little Ellie! Oh, and her parents too.
Thanks! We’re having a good time for sure!
Oh my gosh, little Ellie has gotten so big! But she’s still the cutest thing I’ve ever seen. That smile just gets me!
Travelling…ugh! Glad you made it to your destination safely!
Hi there,
Welcome to Manitoba. I am glad the weather is working out for you. We have just recently moved to a small southern town of about 500 people. We had moved from Winnipeg but really like the small town. We originally came from Alberta where we lived in a small town and before that on a farm in the country.
Again Welcome. Your grandaughter is beautiful.
Thanks for the kind words about our grandaughter. Of course, WE think she’s gorgeous, but I’ll admit we could be a tad biased.
We had a great time in Manitoba, though traveling there and back home again was a little hair-raising! =:-O
Oh! Ellie has sure grown up, but she is still the prettiest princess. Her hair turned out lovely! And the photo with grandpa is precious!

Thanks Lisa! She is getting big!
