After leaving Cheyenne, we headed back on the I-25. It was a sunny day and since it wasn’t very cold, it reminded us of Mexico. Everything was brown and leafless so the ice on the few ponds looked out of place. Actually the only ‘leaflessness’ we saw was in the dried up riverbeds where a few trees manage to survive.

This scenery changed drastically as soon as we hit the I-90. It brought us the first falling snow we had seen. Just after we had transferred to the I-90, we stopped for lunch in Sheridan. Our waitress was the opposite of ‘a meek and quiet spirit’ and we found her a bit difficult. We were almost done eating when Edgar wanted a refill. She promised to bring him one but she didn’t bring it. Just as Edgar was about to repeat his request she remembered. “Oh, I forgot your drink, didn’t I. I’d forget my head if it wasn’t attached to my shoulders.” She gave us some fun. 🙂

Between Sheridan and Billings we had snow which turned into slush when it hit the road. But this didn’t slow us down too much. We reached Great Falls at around nine o’clock in the evening.

After a good night’s rest, we set out to do our monthly shopping. We like to do it in Great Falls once in a while because the pricing is so much better in the States. Since Groszmama can’t walk very fast and Mama wanted to spend time with her, the responsibility of shopping fell on me. I am not used to that so I got very tired that day. Needless to say, I was glad to head home.

Groszmama enjoyed watching the snow that fell on the first day that she was here. Obviously there’s not much snow in Texas.

We children stayed home on Friday when Mama and Daddy took Groszmama to Calgary. They went to make Groszmama’s passport. We enjoyed cleaning the house to surprise Mama and going  to the library.
