Monday and Tuesday morning were spent pushing the final two boards to get signed off with OnSIS (Ontario Student Information System) as the deadline was Tuesday. Both boards got their work done, although the official sign-off was not completed until Wednesday for one of them. We'll have to wait to see whether the ministry will penalize us for that! Then Tuesday at noon we headed for Regina. The trip went well, and we got in just after midnight. Wednesday featured the funeral service for Uncle Wilf; Wendy's brother, Bernard, preached the sermon. The service was very nice with much talk of family, Roughriders, bad golf and bad jokes—all familiar features of Wilf's life.
We spent the rest of the week at Wendy's dad's place, enjoying the company and the relaxation—even Wendy only went shopping about four times! She also attended a bridal shower and further consulted with Tamara on wedding cake design, as she is planning to do the cake for her wedding (scheduled for May 12th). We plan to head back east on Sunday afternoon, driving as far as Kenora to stay with Eric, Erica and the boys on Sunday night. Then, we plan to complete the trip on Monday.
We have enjoyed frequent phone conversations with Erin while we're away. She is having an adventurous week as well!
And that's the kind of week it's been in the Canadian mid-west!
