What a great weekend!

I had a great dinner with Leo and Sam on Friday night. Hugh came down to wish Leo a Happy Thanksgiving, which was pretty nice and Leo certainly appreciated it. Then yesterday I attended Rabbi Lander's "Taste of Text" after services. This session is on the Ten Commandments and yesterday was on 'Honour your mother and father'. I love the discussion that ensued. Never dull!

Then this morning I was invited to attend the Etz Chayim Annual Brunch and Draw by friends. It was so much fun it was great. This was the best turnout they've ever had. Every 25th ticket drawn won a prize....generally $100 and then a couple of them pulled won $200. All of the tickets pulled, winners and losers, are eliminated from the final draw. When it gets to the last 4 tickets they are offered the option of sharing the $4,000 prize or to keep drawing until the last person wins. In today's case the four finalists were quite happy to each walk away with $1,000 each!

Then this afternoon I went to the Winnipeg Art Gallery to see the Yousuf Karsh exhibit. It was really quite good. If you get a chance it's on until the beginning of January! Check it out by clicking here!

Now, I'm just having a relaxing evening! Life is good.

Hope you've had a wonderful weekend as well!
