I grow up with the saying " I feel like I have been hit by a Mac truck." It was said when you are sick and full run down and all over yucky. No not knowing the brands of trucks I would say "I feel like I have been hit by a semi." Well this morning I had a new thought, one that made me relise that in the few months that we have been here the country girl is coming out. "I feel like I was hit by a tractor." When I relised that it was no longer a semi but now a tractor I knew I no longer had a strong hold on my city roots. I think I will be in truble if I start saying "I feel like I was hit by a john deer 5025" ( a modle of tractor)
So I ask my big city family and friends to watch me carfully and if I start to say "yu'a"l or "diggity", you envite me to see the big lights there, get me conectted with my cement roots.
Untill then I will try to keep a blanace on this here post fence, one foot in the golden weat fildes and one on the cold side walk.

Ummmm Brandon is a city....................
Brandon lol.
I cant imagine how you and Kev would handle living in a REAL cowtown. The only store we have within a 20 min drive is Safeway. And the only restaurant is a Tim Hortons. Now that is a real canadian Cow Town lol and a huge population of 7000 :)
so no worries about turning fully cowgirl.
we need to get a latte into you after a trip to the mall...STAT!
39,716 is the population of Brandon not huge but still to big to be a small country town. So you really dont need to worrie.
If you feel the need to dip your feet into the country life style try winkler or Gimli.
