Last evening we had parent-teacher interviews at the school from 3:30pm-7pm. As a great many of mine were at the tournament in Moose Factory with their kids, I only had 3 parents show up. It's funny, but they actually have a draw for the parents as incentive to come to these meeting nights. Last night the first prize was a t.v., second was an ipod, and the third was a sweet pair of moose hide mits with embroidered beading. The woman who won the t.v. had actually won $20,000 at the Attawapiskat bingo a couple weeks ago so I guess she's confirmed lucky.
On the way home I saw a sight to make me smile. It's been pretty warm here for the last couple of weeks really, but the second half of this week dipped down below -30 before the windchill so needless to say, it's become quite slippery again. So I was nearly home when I caught up to a young kid and her grandfather on their own way home. The kid was skating along in the middle of the road as fast as she could and had a great time showing off when she caught sight of me watching. haha. She was pretty good too!
I almost forgot to mention - I spent almost a full two weeks dog sitting for one of the nurses across the road from me. The dog must be about six months and is a mix between black lab and shepherd. She's named her the Cree word for bear, sounding like 'mush-kwa'. She's not trained but manages to be sweet all the same. Bel and her are best of friends (Sparky's still a close second) and go for most walks together now.
