Another week has passed on the shore of Lake Superior, not quite on the edge of the prairie. We got back to Thunder Bay on Sunday, and we've spent the rest of the week here.
The week began in Kenora at Eric/A's. We enjoyed the short time there, and then completed the trip home with the mandatory stop for pie in Upsala!
I worked all week at a new job of relief counselor for the Territorial Student Program. The TSP works to support students from the small communities who are taking their high school program in the big city. So, I travelled around to the six high schools and met with most of the students in the program. Cecile, the actual counselor, will be travelling out to the communities, so I'll be taking her place while she's gone on these trips. This will probably amount to about twenty days of work.
Wendy has continued her work around home, and also had an assessment testing for a federal government job. We don't know what the schedule is on that application. We've also been harvesting the garden as tomatoes ripen. The peas and beans seem to be about done. The chipmunks seem to be beating us to the strawberries as we sometimes find pieces of fruit left behind. Rhubarb has been harvested and some frozen for later enjoyment. We can't keep up with the cucumbers, and we continue to watch the pumpkins develop. Soon the leaves will be changing and we'll be into Fall.
We celebrated Kristian's birthday on Tuesday—three year's old! He continues to work with the speech & language pathologist at the day care and is saying more and more words. He's still got a lot of catching up to do.
Erin continues with her work. She plans to be at the franchise in Winnipeg for a couple of days next week. Travis continues with classes and work, so he's pretty busy.
And that's about it for this week.
