We on the road by 8:00, arriving in Neepawa 4 hours later, but having stopped in Plumas to pick up my parcel from the quilt store there. The North perimeter was a sheet of ice. There was no need to slow down to 80km at intersections, as most people weren't going that fast to start with. But every once in awhle there was some joker who believed that since the sign said we could drive at 100km, he was then obligated to drive that fast. Even the semi's were crawling along. But the roads had cleared up by the time we got to Portage. Once we were set up, David went off to run a couple of errands, including going to the pottery to see if we could order any casserole dishes, ( Yep, broke another one!) No luck there, ( other than being very lucky to get the car out of the snow after having become stuck in the pottery driveway) but we found one in the gift shop at Viscount and bought that. The class went well, and the show came down while the class was going on. Everything packed up and out of the building by 4:45. We then spent just over 1/2 hour with Cathy and Jim at the legion. Then all of the people from a curling bonspiel arrived, so we left. The roads were much better by the time we headed home, so we got home just before 8:00, having stopped in Portage, and again for gas.
We are both exhausted. The drive out there was a challenge for David, and I had experimented with a different method of teaching. It worked very well, but since I was actively teaching for the whole 3 hours, I was pretty wiped by the end of class.
So, all in all a successful day, but I'm grateful that everything went well, and I'm grateful that it's over.
