Three weeks to go

Just three weeks from today we will be landing in Winnipeg! However there is still plenty to do, we are filling up our calendar with last time before we leave items, visits to English classes, going to basketball games, seeing friends, and hopefully --getting the fall plowing done. It has contiued to be too wet-- two days of dry weather has been followed by heavy rain today.

We went to Zaporosia last night for a pro basketball game, and went out to eat after with the Wiens and a visiting couple. We had to chase a few preteen boys out of our seats at the game, seat filling is a popular thing in Ukraine, you just wave your tickets at the them and say "Malchicki, maiah moosh e druges billets" or  "Boys- my husband and friends tickets" once Garry came in with the other couples the boys found other seats, some of which they were bumped out of ten minutes later. Zaporosia Ferro won the game with the famous Randy Cunningham(sorry my brain went Philadelphia Eagles there) Culpepper (of the youtube and ESPN sportsnation dunking video) flying high for a few breakaway dunks.

No photos of that, I didn't take the camera. However, I did bring it this morning when we drove into Dnepro on a three-fold trip,1- go bowling,2- pick up the empty milk jugs at Victor's house, and 3- buy some plastic pipe for Garry's connect the other eavestrough downspout to the cistern project. As you can see, it rained heavily all the way from the village to the mall.
