Wood ticks and allergies, and the turning of 23!

It is now June 1st, and we've been touring for almost nine months. We are now in Winnepeg, Manitoba. We're back in the heartland, now the heartland of Canada, which I must say is much more remote then even the heartland in the US was. In Manitoba, the biggest "city" is Winnepeg, with a couple hundred thousand people... the next biggest "city" only has 40,000, and the third biggest has 10,000.... In Manitoba, the people classify anything over 10,000 is considered a "city." I personally think that's hilarous, as I wouldn't consider it a city unless there was I don't know at least several hundred thousand, if that... no probably not if it was under a million. Wierd, country hick people:) Anyways, the latest thing i've been dealing with are crop allergies and wood ticks, and hoping the host family has something other then dial up internet. Apparently, wood ticks like to crawl in the most innoportune places, so I've been checking whenever I'm outside with the kids.
For my birthday yesterday, I was greeted with cheers, and Enid and Sarah spent 15 minutes preparing me a lovely bouquet of wildflowers from the host family yard. I told the kids they needed to "spoil" me for my birthday. I had to explain to them what spoiling me was, but the boys I stayed with collected dandilions and gave me a bouquet from the yard, so I got two sets of flowers. :) Yay for birthdays!
