Dad's Weekly Update

Well back to -20 this morning with a good wind chill. I taught grade four French today and had to supervise the playground twice. It was all I could do to stand out there. The kids were running around so they don’t seem to have much trouble with the temperature and the wind. I have had my noise to the grind stone down at the Elk Hall building the props for the dinner theater. I hung the two double doors on Tuesday and then turned my attention to the base board, filling the nail holes and doing touch up painting. I thought I would have two pieces of wall paper on the twelve wallpaper panels by the end of today, but I spent the day at the school. So I still have all twelve panels to hang wallpaper on and put a wood trim frame around them. I still have three weeks before the first night of performance. It has taken me four weeks to date and I will probably be there another week. I have shop jobs backing up; I have a cupboard to build for extended care, poster paint drying rack for the Elementary School, two drill press jigs for Irwin and myself, a drum I was going to do several months ago. Well I guess the Oilers are moving onto next year. This has not been a good week point wise and they are eight points out of the play-offs. They will probably be selling off a few players before next Tuesday’s deadline. Melvin should be flying back from his honeymoon in the next couple of days. It may be a shock to come back to this cold weather. “We are off to the play the Producers tomorrow night at the Jubilee. I don’t know yet if we are going on the Choir Bus or taking our own van. The bus just takes to long as it goes by St Paul. The weather is supposed to be getting a little nasty over the next few days. The wedding went well and we even had Chicken and Noodles at Irwin’s as a family on Sunday. Aunt Karen is still struggling with her condition. I think most of us don’t really understand what the treatment for that is all about. We spent a few minutes with her on Saturday. I have made some progress with my writing of the TempleReady Program How to use TempleReady. I am up to level 3 now and have to move on to level six. So I have a ways to go yet. Well have a good week Blaine/Dad
