Another week has passed on the shore of Lake Superior, and I was able to spend it around home. Oh, we did take a day trip down to Minnesota to pick up a parcel, but work was around home, and we got quite a lot done. It's just as well—the weather has not cooperated with golfing weather!
I have a little work on a data storage project that I am able to keep up with on my computer at home. I have a couple of teleconferences, but for the most part, I'm on my own. Between showers, I get some more work done in the back yard. I build a slide structure for Kristian and get his fancy slide installed. It works well. I have also built him a sand box below the slide, and that necessitated many wheelbarrows of sand being hauled from the back gate. Grandpa's getting too old for this stuff—too much like work! The pool deck is nearly finished; the grass is growing in the back; the garden boxes are growing—progress!
In the midst of this we get some sad news; Barb, long-time member of our congregation, goes into cardiac arrest and passes on. We grieve for that. Life is fragile and uncertain.
Eric/A have purchased a house in Kenora. It looks great! We're looking forward to a viewing as we head west in another week. They take possession at the end of July. We also got their Honda Goldwings moved out of the garage to the local bike shop for rehab. They'll be glad to have both back in operating condition.
Trav & Sylvia continue with their usual routines. Trav wishes for a bit more of the contract graphics work over the summer; he may check out other work to fill his days.
Erin continues with work; it is going fine. Kristian is doing well; he has begun expanding his vocabulary, but he still doesn't talk much. He is enjoying having his cousins here this weekend. I am enjoying having Eric as we got to go out golfing today. You may remember the last two rounds were +19 and +20... this time only +7! (But then we only played nine holes!)
And that's the kind of week it's been.
