Another week has passed on the shore of Lake Superior. Wendy left for Minneapolis on Thursday morning, so we've been roughing it since then! She is on a shopping and holiday trip with her friend, Charlene, and a few others. So, they're enjoying the amusement park, the water park, the mall, the box stores, the outlet stores... and I'm not missing any of that much!
I have managed three golf games (87, 82, 87) and seen my handicap rise to 14.6 as I keep eliminating my better games from last year before I broke my ankle! I've also got a lot of work done on OnSIS reporting with a few schools and data export in preparation for a training day with the Supervisory Officers of our schools. This year we don't have much funding, so we're not planning to use any of it for travel. As a result, we're planning local training events when we can get school administrators together to improve their use of data. And, I've managed a bit more work on the house renovations.
The weather has been beautiful—probably the best of the summer—although a couple days were too hot for me! I got the '67 Cougar licensed to drive in Ontario—that was a costly venture compared to Saskatchewan.
The garden is going great guns; we can't keep ahead of the cucumbers. The tomatoes are turning, so we'll soon be overwhelmed with them. We hope to have some pumpkins for Hallowe'en, but so far the vines have been putting way too much energy into spreading all over the back corner and not enough into producing fruit!
Erin continues with her work, and Kristian with his play. Trav continues with his regular shifts at Dominos, and also with several graphic art and web site contracts. He's also starting to get ready to head back for his final year of school.
And that's about it for this week!
