Mommy’s weekend away did not equal a free ride for two little boys in back home: Alex and Simon still had to do their German Homework on Sunday, and -- with the help of modern technology --I was right their in their Toronto dining room to do it with them, even though I was thousands of kilometres away, in the Alberta Rockies!
Our Skype session before church on Sunday morning included a good 12-15 minutes of German homework, namely, reading together, writing a few sentences (“Meine Freunde”), and conjugating verbs (“spielen”, “sein”)!
Meanwhile, the peace and serenity of the morning view outside our window here at Lake Louise has been replaced with the delightful chaos of families, couples and others milling about the skating rinks, ski trails, apple roast and ice bar. The mountains that were so clearly defined this morning have vanished behind thousands of tiny, white flurries.
