I have some American friends who spent a few years of their lives going to Bible college in my home province of Saskatchewan. They love to reminisce about their time on the bald prairies where trees are precious and few. They talk about Moose Jaw and Regina.
Yet, for all their years in it, they can't say it right.. They say, "Sask - at - CHEW - an." Any local will tell you there's only three syllables, really - "Sask - at - ch'wan".

Hey Jen
Long time no communication. Sorry, that would be my fault. Been hopelessly busy packing up in Taiwan and planning our trip. Two more days left in Thailand and we're back to South Africa...which means very slow 56k dial up modems = limited internet time. But I have NOT forgotten you and definitely want to keep in touch. I lost your blog adr but katrina left a comment on my blog page, I went to hers and found yours and here I am messenging you.
Bye for now.
Love Laura
Hi Jen
Happy Birthday!!! Hope you having an absolutely fantastic day! And that it's not too cold just yet.Wish we were celebrating you birthday together, but I know you'll be in great company. you always are where ever you go. You light up rooms just by entering them. I'm so glad our paths crossed. Take care and enjoy the rest of your birthday. This is my first time on a blog page, so not sure how it works, but hope this finds you. Take care. bridget and Schalk
