Quill

I'm trying to take my weekends on Friday/Saturday. This week I made sure I actually took the weekend off, and went down to Winnipeg. I'm SO thankful I went. I've been feeling pretty isolated up here, so knowing how close I am to the city really helps. The highlight of the trip was meeting up with a friend in ministry and connecting with cousins. Thanks be to God for familiar faces!

It was also a great time to get some shopping done. I spent WAY too much money, but very little of it was what I would consider "retail therapy". Most of it was spent on food, since the price of food in small-town Manitoba (North of Winnipeg) is considerably more expensive than what I'm used to. While there however, I decided to grow my "family" and have adopted a cat. She's a beautiful 3 year old short hair. She has neat colouring being mainly brown-black tabby but also have spots of orange and white about her with green eyes. Since it looks like someone dropped bits of colour onto her, not unlike ink-spots, I decided to call her Quill. At the moment she's none too thrilled with me for trying to give her deworming pills. (keyword = trying, result = failed) That said, she has wandered throughout the house and has already claimed both my favourite afghan and prayer shawl. I think she's quickly accepting that this is her new home and that she's trying to teach me that she's the head of the house. I'll post a picture in a day or two, but at the moment I must finish my sermon for tomorrow.
