This summer we've been spending a lot of weekends driving between Regina and Saskatoon, which means we spend a lot of time looking at fields from the highway. One of the reasons we do this is because we have season tickets for the Roughriders, which was my engagement gift to Ian (a huge football fan). Last weekend, the opening kickoff was delayed for an hour because of a thunderstorm that rolled through the area. This weekend, there was a 40 minute rain delay between the first and second quarters complete with thunder, lightening, hail, and funnel cloud sightings. In case you don't know, the stadium where the Riders play is an outdoor stadium (as in, no protection of any kind from the elements) so when it rains you get completely soaked. Then everyone runs inside to hide from the rain only to find the stadium is very old and leaky and that standing under the stands in only marginally better than standing in the rain itself! Luckily, the sun came back out after about 20 minutes of rain and dried everyone off.
Unfortunately there is another reason we've been travelling to Regina - Ian's Dad is dealing with some pretty serious health issues right now. This is the main reason why my posts have been few and far between lately - it is difficult to find inspiration and even more difficult to find time for blogging. It is times like these that make weddings, blogs, and many other things seem like small potatoes.
