The week starts in Winnipeg as I complete my enjoyment of the Brier. Thank you, Mike & Peggy for putting up with me, and getting my days off on a stick-to-your-ribs footing with porridge each morning! I picked up Wendy at the bus early Sunday morning—she has enjoyed a cold trip down from Regina! It seems the driver who took over at Virden couldn't manage the heater controls.
The final game of the Brier gets underway in the late afternoon. It is a lack-lustre affair as the ice is unpredictable so the teams play conservatively. Eventually Kevin Martin (my pre-tournament favourite) prevails and is the new Canadian champion; he will carry our colours to the world championship to be played this year in North Dakota.
We enjoy another evening and morning in Winnipeg, before heading for Kenora on Monday. There we celebrate Erica's birthday, and then carry on to Thunder Bay on Tuesday. Erin and Kristian are doing well. Kristian seems to be doing much better with both his eye and ear infections seemingly under control.
I return to work with all day meetings (never a pleasant experience) on Wednesday and Thursday, and then the four-day weekend begins. Travis & Sylvia come over for supper on Thursday.
Eric/A and the boys arrive Thursday evening, so we have all our grandkids here for a few days. Erica is off with some friends on a shopping trip to Duluth for Friday and Saturday. Sylvia is also along on that trip.
Throughout the week, we enjoy regular Skype calls with friends far and near. And that's about it for this week.
