Tuesdays With Jo

Dear Mother Jaskey, 

Good morning from the snowy plains of Saskatchewan. The sun is barely up in muted hazy tones. Its a lazy Christmas holiday feel around here.

My Christmas cards are draped across windows on jute twine and the coffee bar by the dining room window is well used. I just watered the giant poinsettia basking on the old singer sewing machine. Wyatt and I have a 1000 piece Cobble Hill puzzle going in the living room. 

We finished school on Friday with a party and food from Saskatoon. Pat, Jeff and our boys finished the casket (I spent a day helping line it with black and red buffalo plaid). On Sunday the school board met in the teacherage basement for a time of bonding over flood waters. 

I'm so excited about these two weeks, even though we still have a funeral on the horizon (maybe Dec 31st). We ordered a deep fryer and ice-cream machine with Christmas gift money (from Grandma Isaac) and we're living the life!

So grateful for you, 

Love,

Jo

P.S. We're reading Where The Red Fern Grows aloud together late at night. 

P.P.S. Zach helped me mix a giant batch of Christmas Coffee. 

P.P.P.S. Colby made a doughnut hole cutter. Guess what's in our future?!
