A white-out from Nipawin to PA on the highway in the morning. Nothing but fields of snow & frosted trees. A winter desert.

Edie, 3/4 of the way to P.A for a Dr's appointment: "Aw, when are we there."

Me: "Why don't you have a little nap?"

Edie: leans her head over & closes her eyes.

Edie's outfit for the day: flower pants, striped skirt, green knit sweater with the buttons done up herself, flower bead necklace & sparkly boots.

Me to Edie later that night: "Can we always be best friends?"

Edie: too busy doing puzzles to reply.
