News Update

Another week passes on the shore of Lake Superior. The weather has not been encouraging—we start the week with a layer of white rain, enjoy warm weather for a few days, and get another layer of white rain on Friday. So, we're waiting for the lawns and fairways to clear once again!

The week of work goes fairly smoothly, although there are the almost-expected hiccups with OnSIS as our schools are trying to complete another round of reporting. I complete my year end report and get that sent out for signatures. I send out the first aspect of another project I'm working on for management of what the Ministry calls Tangible Capital Assets.

I've been trying to follow the world curling championships taking place in nearby North Dakota, but coverage has not been good. I've followed a few games on-line on my laptop, and now the playoff games this weekend have been on TV. Kevin Martin is representing us well, and after finishing the regular round in first place has now moved on to the gold medal final, against Scotland, to be played tomorrow. I've also been tracking the Master's golf tournament this weekend. And with the baseball season starting, and hockey beginning the Stanley Cup playoffs, there's just been too much to keep track of it all!

Otherwise, we're back in Ballroom Dancing classes until May 12th—hopefully that'll be enough to get my ankle in good shape. And we're making a series of trips to the dentist for cleanings and fillings—expensive cleanings and fillings!

Wendy keeps busy with work around the house and taking care of Kristian. Erin continues with work, and is entertaining the idea of buying a house for herself.

We enjoy having Trav & Sylvia over for supper on Friday. Travis is now completed this semester of classes and heading into his summer's work. Sylvia is having quite a busy time at work as this month features the changeover from the fiscal year end at the University.

We look forward to Eric/A and the boys spending some time here next week.

And that's about it for this week.
