Good News and Bad news
This is the one potato that we had for Our Thanksgiving dinner at my Dad's house. I cut it up and it filled the whole pot. We didn't even eat it all. The potatoes did well this year despite the nasty summer we had.
GOOD NEWS!
I found out that Anna is receiving the Silver Medal for her RCM Grade 1 exam which means she got the highest mark on her exam for her grade for all of Alberta. I wasn't sure what it meant until I sent an email to her teacher and asked if this was a big deal or not. Apparently it is. We are very excited for her but we found out today that the ceremony happens to be on the same day as the primary program. She will probably have to miss the primary program which will mean the other kids will have to sing louder because Anna usually carries the singing part. Her voice teacher is very excited about this whole thing and plans to be there with us.
BAD NEWS (with a happy ending).
A sad thing happened on Thursday. I dropped my cell phone and shattered the face of it. It was horrible. The phone still worked but it was hard to see through all the cracks. We found an advertisement in Kijiji that said they would fix it for $65 which was a whole lot better that the $200 that the apple store was going to charge so on Saturday before Murray picked me up at Wendie's he met this man in a parking lot at Taco Bell and the man repaired it in his car. He was on crutches and had two small children in the back of his car. Apparently he was on disability and was trying to make some money on the side. He did a great job…my phone looks like new and hopefully we helped this family as well.
