I went with Nancy, Mark and Imaapik. We were heading to the lake that the Easter Fishing contest happened on, then through some trees to meet up with Maggie and Jean. I was amazing how much the lakes had hardened up since Monday, when they were very slushy! Unfortunately we couldn't find their trail and didn't actually know where they were going. Instead, we went to the Koroc River and back towards Ujarasutjulik via another lack that I don't exactly how to spell- Unnaktualuk- or something like that?! The ride was nice, but the river was a bit slushy and watery in spots. Fortunately none of us got stuck and managed to have a really wonderful ride over pristine hills and through fluffy, needly trees.
We met up with a few ladies from town on Ujarasutjulik. They were fishing so Nancy stopped to try her luck. One of the ladies is my chosen one for today. Maggie Lucy is a teacher with me in the Secondary sector at school. She teaches Inuktitut language and has been at school for many, many years! I have always enjoyed teaching with her. She very kind, helpful and nice. I had her son, Mark, in my very first homeroom class here in GR. He was a hoot when we did improv drama for Workskills. I will never forget him acting out "cooking" with a fake stove and frying pan. It was hilarious!!
Theme song for today: Hey, Soul Sister by Train (It was running through my head the whole ride back to town)
