PART II: ... but I'm a small town gal.

TEN REASONS I PREFER GULL LAKE TO REGINA

1. Farms and Fields everywhere.

2. Stars are visible as soon as its dark outside.

3. Time and the space to paint.

4. It would take hours to walk to the next town = lots of country & gravel roads.

5. If one grocery store doesn't have what you want, you know the other store does.

6. The town gathers to watch a bunch of guys get a stuck combine out of a ditch/slough.

7. Only 1 movie theater; 1 movie for 3 nights = no arguing over what to see.

       Since they're older movies, they're also cheaper!

8. No malls. Only a Quilt store that has yet to be visited by this gal =  Improvisation & a savings account.

9. With said saved money and extra time, one can buy luxury items. For example, a puppy or an ereader, on which one can actually read books for FUN!

10. a Tim Horton's coffee is a luxurious treat.

This was definitely NOT taken in Gull Lake. It definitely WAS a treat of a day! :)

PART I: I (heart) Regina, but...

10 REASONS EXPLAINING WHY I MISS REGINA

1. Wascana Park/Parliament Building

2. Sobeys is open until midnight.

3. DIY Ceramics.

4. One can walk around for hours and still not see the entire city.

5. 7/11's iced french vanilla.

6. There's always something happening somewhere.

7. Outdoor skating rinks (3 different ones, that I know of).

8. There are 4 (half) decent malls.

9. the proximity of the University and its library.

This is actually the First Nation University, which is located right next to the U of R.

I can't find the picture I wanted!

10. Tim Horton's fix is easily achieved.

Bad Joke #2.

How many glasses of water does a cowboy need to quench his thirst throughout the night?

I couldn't believe either.
