This is Peter and Pippi before school,\u00a0Pippi\u00a0in her angora leopard beret and Peter in his “professor” ensemble. The outfit conjures up images of a British Professor, perhaps hunched over leather bound volumes at Oxford. The look is a favorite with our daughters. They always ask him to, “wear your professor outfit!”<\/p>\n

October is proving to be an even more busy month than September. Every weekend I am away. This weekend my family travels to The Kootney’s for Thanksgiving, next weekend is a Buddhist retreat here in Kelowna but I attend Friday and Saturday. And the following weekend I am in Vancouver at The Surrey International Writers Conference<\/i>. The last weekend of the month is the introduction of Dharma Kids<\/i><\/b> to the Okanagan (I’m the teacher\/founder).
Peter will be away several times this month also for conferences in Vancouver and Seattle. Ya. Like I said, the month is a little crazy. And sometime in there I must get Halloween costumes together. My girls still don’t know what they’re going to be.<\/p>\n

My youngest daughter has been home ill with a cold, stomach flu and fever all at once. Here’s hoping she’s all better by the time we must leave for the Kootney’s tomorrow. My eldest daughters are catching a ride there today with my sister. Peter is at a conference in Vancouver. I guess it’s just me and the patient, alone again today. It was exhausting yesterday, as she only felt well if her head was resting on me the entire day.<\/p>\n

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving, my friends. I hope you enjoy the “Three Sisters” of the Iroquois Nation: Corn, beans and squash–true Canadian food.<\/p>\n
