My kids were born and grew up on the prairies

'Tho I was born in B.C., the family farm was near Pigeon Lake, Manitoba. My Grandad had 2 1/2 sections of wheat. I didn't get out to visit the farm as often as I would have liked but always had a good time with all my cousins, aunts, and uncles. Something to be said for rural livin'! My grandma made the best darn Saskatoon berry pies this side of the Assiniboine River!
Funny, but I found the unrelenting flatness disturbing. Being from very mountainous country, I felt very exposed standing out on the bald-headed prairie. One day when visiting the farm, I thought I could see something way off in the distance. I grabbed a pair of binoculars from the house and raised them to my eyes. Slowly focussing the eyepiece something came into view...Dang!...it was the back of my head! Now that's flat!!!
CHIMO!
