View of the day-We knew we would wake up to the white stuff covering everything and it fell off and on during the day, then it kicked up a nasty one just as everyone was heading home from work...ahhh...Saskatchewan weather.

Marilyn was up at the crack of dawn...no, really...she was going in to Staples to do a bit of training in the shipping/receiving department so she had to be in by 8am. Al decided at the last minute to drive her in to town so he could have the truck to gad about in without the worry of getting stuck or sliding off the road somewhere.

Al took a road trip to Melville to pick up a jersey he had won in a charity auction...a Dallas Stars NHL team jersey signed by Marty Turco, the goalie of said team. He had hopes that it was a goalie jersey so that it might fit him...no such luck...BUT, it does fit Marilyn quite nicely! He stopped to have lunch with his H&R Block buddy, Curtis, then picked Marilyn up from work at 4:30pm. The oat swaths along our road were all covered with snow and it looks like some of the 'beaver houses' left by the swatherman will really soak it up once it warms up.

It was Yorkton Terriers hockey night in town and they were hosting their Hwy #10 rivals, the Melville Millionaires...always a good match up. They have a great deal on some excellent steaks in the lounge at the arena and since Marilyn didn't get taken out to lunch, it was decided that we would eat there before the game. Marilyn was just along for the steaks, so once the game started she headed back for the farm.

Of course, she needed some new hair goo...and Walmart was on the way home. Apparently they are expanding the Walmart into a Supercentre, so there was a lot of construction going on and everything was moved around, so she had to cover a lot of the store to find what she was looking for...only to find it where it has always been. Imagine that.

After the Terriers came out with a 4-2 win, Al got a ride home with Darlene from next door, who was working in the concession at the rink. The snow had let up a bit after the white out that hit during the game and the roads were starting to get iced over with all the traffic that had been on them all day and the temperatures hovering just below the freezing mark.

And there is more snow forecast for our Thanksgiving weekend...
