Lolita, 2pm, in Oliver I am so sad I missed the trip to the Patio and Hearth Store but Lori’s dinner tales made me feel like I was right there! Today it was perfect weather for running: humid, drizzly, low 40’s. Not a single child complained. They are truly fleet-footed Indigenous at the core—and so…

3:30pm, Lolita, home. I have comp time for some of the weekend work I have been doing so I didn’t go out ice-skating with the kids. I have so much work I want to do for my course! I am also slowly getting http://www.longhouseschool.blog into shape. I have about 60% of the content I want…

8:00am, Lolita. I’m in Oliver with my BFF Lori. We finished running on the County road, breakfast at the Diner, another run to the Park, and laps in the heated pool! The owners left last night for a holiday weekend escape so the Maracles and I agreed that Lori would spend the night with me,…

We can see her peering at the school from her office or porch! Yesterday the students moved back into their Lodge. Thanks to…

9:00am, Lolita. Taking a break while our contractor Max fills up the pool. It seems like a new routine. We do Track followed by the Perimeter Walk. The Walk acts as a cooling down activity but there is so much to see. We will have the pool starting tomorrow to wash us down. No more…

8:00am, Lolita. In Oliver. Raining and windy, we had to cancel Track. Sorry, kids. Lori’s parents have to be at work early so she is napping here until school opens. Yesterday could be considered The Day of the Ginkgo. First of all, I apologized to the kids for giving them the wrong spelling of the word. It’s…

I’m not really supposed to post as per my uni mentor until I catch up on Longhouseschool.blog. But today was exceptional and I am happy not to skip it. Our Track run is now 6:30am and we have a full house. The students take running very seriously and this includes warm-ups and cool downs. First…

It’s Sunday morning. Lori and I had decided to sleep in this morning. So we left for the track at 8:00 a.m. This is big: she ran her first mile without stopping to walk! She had forgotten to count her laps and if I didn’t stop her, she probably would still be running. Who, exactly,…
