My mom's side of the family tries to get together at least once a year in Carlyle, and that event happens to be this weekend. The last three years, this gathering has been consumed by weddings, but this year it is just a family gathering.
Yesterday the ladies headed out for some shopping on main street. This involves my grandmother introducing us proudly to everyone she recognizes. We hit all the stores on the West side of the street, but "Mi Lady Fashions" was the highlight. Emily is an incredible shopper and can find gems in any rack of clothing...and trust me, it is difficult to find anything fabulous in that store for anyone under the age of 60.
Mom hosted last night's supper featuring food on a stick and fresh saskatoon berry & raspberry pies. We'd spent the morning picking berries from her backyard. There is no more Saskatchewan taste than a fresh saskatoon berry pie.
We ended the evening with another traditional event - a visit to the Drive-In Theatre to see Get Smart.
