It’s colder in Toronto than in Brandon

 With temperatures hovering around zero in Brandon, I was surprised to learn that it was below minus 15 in Toronto.

The weather this Winter, said a local, has never been this warm.

Driving to and from Minnedosa photos

 It was misty on the way out.



Sunny on the way back.




Monday 10:09 AM: Busy


 I’m busy but I wouldn’t be so busy if I loaded myself up with daily requirements like prayer, blogging and vlogging.  When Lent happens, I will dispense with the latter two requirements. They’re vanity projects anyway.

Here is a selfie of me.


Can you guess why I took the selfie?  One person did comment on their winning the Super Bowl yesterday.  He then reflected on that other Super Bowl that they should have won.

Here are some tecent video uploads by me:

More Minnedosa Photos

 I took a break from fundraising to take these photos of the Main Street of Minnedosa.










I then took this selfie at the co-op,



Sunday 19:00 Mass


 I was able to get back to Brandon with time to spare before the 1900 Mass which took place as the Super Bowl started.  I had my priorities straight. 

Minnedosa


 

I made it.

Sunday 7:47 AM: Shanghai, Torsby, Minnedosa

 


I just had a trial lesson with a grade 4 student in Shanghai.

I am just about to have a class with my student in Torsby, Alberta.

I am then going to Minnedosa to do a fund raising shift.

When I return, Mass.

Saturday: at the Canadian Tire


 I was waiting to get the tire installed.

Saturday: Didn’t need this

 


That’s the spare tire I have on the beast.  I was driving to Minnesota when I got the flat.  The tire was changed thanks to some help from a couple who lived near Rapid City. I drove back to Brandon. It wasn’t recommended to go far on a spare. In Brandon, I went to Canadian Tire. They can’t fix it until 4:00 PM.  So, no fundraising today.  

Ten Hours Aho

 We dropped off Jenny at the Airport. Ten hours later, she’s still on the page.
