Ride a wide circle

Posted on October 13, 2018October 13, 2018by SDPrairieWriter

This month the words ‘Ride A Wide Circle’ have been echoing in my mind. It is a saying I most associate with my grandfathers and though I don’t recall them ever saying it outright to me I can certainly imagine them doing so. They both embodied it in every way – both literally and figuratively. […]

My daughter was 2 when we said goodbye to my Grandma Noreen and yet, this last week my now four-year-old has channeled her spirit.
