News Update

Another week has passed on the shore of Lake Superior, and its passing has moved us into colder weather, and even a few snow flakes.

We started the week with Eric, Erica and the boys who were visiting here over the weekend. Together, we enjoyed watching the Riders win the Western Conference final at BC, and proceed to the Grey Cup to be played next Sunday afternoon. Go Riders, Go!

My travels this week took me up to Red Lake where I worked with the teachers on Report Cards and with the secretary on those oh-so-troublesome reports to the ministry. The work with the teachers went fairly well. The secretary—not so much! Her reluctance to learn new things in the last year of her work, and her general sloppiness make for a bad combination. We get pages and pages of error reports! Yikes! Where is Bonnie when I need her!? As a result, the completion of two days of hard slogging does not have anything signed off with the ministry. Compare that to my record-setting school—two hours! I also have two other schools who completed the report in half a day, and two others who completed in one day. As a result, I shall have to try to walk her through the remainder of the work over the phone.

The remainder of the work week was spent in meetings in the central office in TBay, and work in my own office here at home.

Otherwise things continue well at home. Wendy has been busy in a swirl of fund-raisers and Christmas baking and other events.

Erin spent two days in Winnipeg with her work. Kristian seems to be confirmed as a full participant in his 'terrible twos' and often drives his mother and grandmother to distraction. (You could walk there—it's a short trip!)

And that's about it for this week.
