News Update

Another week has flown by on the shore of Lake Superior. I've been away most of the week, so it's nice to be back for the cooking and comforts of home.

On Sunday, I got in another six holes of golf. That went fine, but the weather has turned colder this week, and most of the courses have their greens covered, so that could be the end of the golf season.

On Monday, Wes and I headed east 500 clicks to Hornepayne. We worked there through Tuesday and then moved on to Longlac, from where we drive out daily to work at Caramat. We completed our work at Caramat about noon on Thursday, so we headed back to TBay. The work in both centres went well. Caramat (that's Tamarac spelled backwards) now holds the record for October OnSIS completion—two hours!

I worked at the home office on Friday, and managed to catch up on phone calls and emails that had come in during the week.

Wendy has been caring for Kristian each day. She has taken on a batch of mending and alterations so the old Singer has been humming and singing! and stopping to clear its throat a few times as well! We bought that machine, second-hand, in Earl Grey back in the early 70's for about $40! It seemed quite a bit of money back then!

Erin continues with her work. She's doing well, and learning the particulars of a few additional roles beyond what she was hired to do.

We celebrated Trav's birthday over at Trav & Sylvia's this evening, since Eric, Erica and the boys are in town. He doesn't really turn twenty-six until the twenty-seventh, but it's good to celebrate whenever.

And that's the kind of week it's been.
