News Update

Another week passes on the shore of Lake Superior. There was violent weather in the area, but not like the tornadoes they experienced in Manitoba! Some buildings were de-roofed in Ignace and a semi-trailer was blown over by the wind.

I have now played thirteen golf games this season, but this week was a downturn as far as consistency is concerned. I started off the week with a game up in Red Lake—a tough course to be sure. I followed up that 87 with an 81 & 82 back at my home course in TBay.

My work is completely dedicated to getting those reports in to the Ministry of Education. OnSIS keeps changing the rules, so that doesn't help. This week I managed to get a ruling in writing, so we hope they'll stick to that for at least a term!

The container garden is doing well, although Kristian is helping with the weeding from time to time and that spells danger for my seedlings! Wendy got into the planting this week, as she is gradually improving in her shoulder and back issues. I managed to do my part by cleaning up as much poppy seed sheet cake as possible!

Today we drove down to Grand Portage Casino where they were featuring a 50's & 60's weekend. Wendy wanted to see Gary Lewis & the Playboys, and I wanted to see the cars. Too bad we didn't have the '67 Cougar to show off! By the time we'd toured the car show and taken in Elvis, Patsy Cline, Neil Diamond, Willie Nelson, Connie Francis... (well, too many tribute singers!) Wendy's shoulder was getting too bothersome and we drove back without even seeing the real band!

Erin has been busy with babysitting and homework this week, but is now off baby sitting for a couple of weeks. Kristian continues to delight, amaze and frustrate—often in the same minute!

Travis & Sylvia keep busy with their work and home. They celebrate their first anniversary tomorrow! And, as somebody sang, "The first year is the worst year, you'll get used to it!"

And thus another week passes.
