One of the most amazing things about this journey has been meeting the interesting people along the way, and today was no exception. We had traveled 60 kms out of Brandon, and it was time for a break, and there was a long lonely driveway that was an inviting spot out of the way of the traffic. I had my protein shake and we were getting ready to go, when a truck pulled in behind us and ask if we needed assistance, no, we're alright was the reply and we then went on to explain to the lady just what we were doing in her driveway. That's when we were introduced to Verna Elliott Hutlet. Verna works as a Dairy
Recording Technician, and was returning home after a day's work that started at 3am. Verna mentioned that her family has been touched by cancer and had many encouraging words for us, which always keeps me going. As it turns out, Verna is also an artist and was pleased to give us one of her paintings.
Thank you Verna!!! When I get home Verna, I will have this painting framed and I will display it proudly in my home.
Verna Hutlet another angel on our journey.
If you would like one of Verna's paintings, you can contact her at vrhutlet@mb.sympatico.ca

I long to accomplish a great and noble task, but it is my chief duty to accomplish humble tasks as though they were great and noble. The world is moved along not only by the mighty shoves of its heroes but also by the aggregate of the tiny pushes of each honest worker. "
