Updates

 We have been here for more than two weeks now, and things are changing fast. We would need a negative test to fly in without quarentining for two weeks from Canada now as Ukraine has moved Canada from green to red. Of course Canada keeps changing the rules for getting back home too! I am hoping they will change for the better before May when I plan to be home to greet the new grandchild. Quarentining in a hotel in Toronto or Calgary waiting for test results before flying to Winnipeg sounds difficult and expensive. 

After two weeks Garry is getting back into his regular schedule. We are trying to find some N95 masks to use when going to in person English classes. The boys have been cutting boards for the trusses they will build for the new heifer barn Garry plans to build this year. 

Thursday it cooled off overnight and we had some snow that night. Friday morning we made bread in cooking class. It took a while and the students managed to go home with packages of ground beef and jars of jam, relish, and pickles from my canning closet by eleven o'clock. Garry took off to Dnepro with Vika and Sasha to go to the dentist right after they sampled some of the hot bread.

 Some of them were still in the kitchen when Max's brother Artom brought the guy to check out the gas heater. It keeps shutting off, sometimes a couple times a day, it's been off almost every morning this week. After an hour and a half it was pronounced fine, it could be a problem with the gas coming into the village instead. So of course the thing shut off three times Friday night.

In other news, hopefully my sleeping from one to 5:30 am last night means that jetlag is rounding the corner for me, and Garry finished his 1500 piece puzzle this morning after locating the last three pieces inside the table!
