News Update

Another week has passed on the shore of Lake Superior on the edge of the prairie... and it was another good week! It was also a busy week, so much so that I never managed to get out golfing until today! And then I failed because my cart-battery is experiencing problems and wasn't charged up!

Wendy got home on Sunday evening. She had a good time in Minneapolis and brought back a few treats for those of us who held the fort at home! I spent the time while she was away tearing out the partition between the dining room and the living room. There were quite a number of switches and plug-ins involved, so I've spent more time this week rewiring the area. Wendy wanted another plug-in added, so that got done as well. Now I need to get the drywall applied over the new framework and another renovation project will have moved forward.

Travis has moved his share of the "worldly goods" out of the old place and into our house and garage. He and Sylvia are officially separated now, and that hurts our hearts as well. We should not underestimate the powers at play in this world.

Kristian keeps us on our toes. He loves playing some combination of several sports. Grandpa golfs, so Kristian golfs. Erin loves watching sports, so Kristian picks up ideas from that. We've been playing catch a fair bit lately—he's just learning to catch, but throws accurately and hard! Sometimes he'll set up a ball, hit it with one of his golf clubs, drop the golf club, run around the room and throw himself into a headfirst slide! What a boy! What a joy!

I'm doing a bit of work as the schools are opening up. I'm also preparing for next weekend's reunion in Dauphin by getting the songs ready on Powerpoint.

And that's the kind of week it's been.
