We left this morning around 9:30 to travel south to warmer climes. Had a good trip on a sunny day. South of Lethbridge the road is all divided highway, not much traffic and a clear, open road. We had a good drive and found a Motel 6 (after frogging around a little) in Dillon, Montana.
Going by Nobleford, Alberta we called up some memories of our time there in the 70's. It was a wonderful time in our family: the seven years we were there were the years that all four of our children were at home. Our youngest was only 2 months when we arrived, and our oldest finished high school one semester after we moved away. We loved our congregation there and felt very much at home. It was a little hard to get used to the open prairie with the big sky, after having lived in Ontario, surround by large maple trees. But after about a year, I loved it there.
One really nice thing about Nobleford is that you can almost always see the Rocky Mountains from there, while still enjoying the openness of the prairie with its neverending sky. I loved that about it.
The border crossing to the U.S.A. went without any problem, and much less of a lineup that last year.
It was a good beginning to our travels south!
