Yesterday we had a "special visitor" come to the school. It was Lorne Calvert, the premier of Saskatchewan! Wow. All I can say is that he is much shorter in person than I expected. He had a quick tour of the school, then spoke at an assembly. His message was a bit vague, but then again, so are his policies. Anyways, coupled with that and the fact that teachers are getting a 10% raise over the next two years can mean only one thing: there is an election on the way.
In addition to that, another seemingly annual tradition has begun. We had an abandoned puppy dropped off at our door step. she is a little fuzz bucket that we have named Kira. She is so cute, although she was much cuter after her much needed bath. Fortunately, we have plans to take her to the SPCA in Lloydminster early next week. I'd show you the picture, but we can't find our cord that connects the digital camera to the computer. She is a Rottweiler cross, and Anne is very good with her. They play together and keep each other company. So far, after 24 hours, total number of messes = 2: both today after school (1 #1 and 1 #2).
