Our first weekend since we arrived was like any other weekend - started off with intense cleaning! The bungalow we are staying in was a little the worse for wear in terms of the state the former tenant left it in, so we had quite a bit of work to do. But we got it done, and after an amazing perogy lunch made by Kaity and Harry, we took a ride into Weyburn to look around, do some shopping (one of the stops was at the liquor store; 'nuff said), and went to the library where I got a temp membership and borrowed a bunch of books (some things don't change!) Finally we picked up some popcorn for our movie night. We actually had a projector so we could watch the movies big screen on the wall! It was fun, we watched Madea goes to Jail and Beauty Shop.
Sunday I went to a new church in Weyburn, it is being planted by an East Indian pastor and his wife. They were very nice, and I think I will keep going there. They have two boys and cute little girl the same age as Pearl, and just as precocious. I think if they were to meet they would be great friends. I also met a prolife activist and his daughter, and Rodney's parents, with whom we had a good discussion of various topics. Back at the farm, I think I will just veg out for the rest of the day - gotta get started on reading that stack of library books! It is still raining, but we are hoping that it will dry up soon so we can get to the serious tree planting. Apparently we have 9000 trees to plant on 3 farms, so lots of work to look forward to!
