Another week of beautiful weather is enjoyed on Lake Superior in my hometown. But we have wandered westward to the snowy prairies, and are currently in Regina. To be sure, the weather here is mild also, and the snow is melting away, but it seems they had a lot more than we, so there remains much more than we can enjoy! However, we are enjoying a stay with DadK, Dave & Kresten. We have Kristian along with us, and he's really enjoying being the centre of attention.
It has not been a productive week on the investment front as I have made no sales. One stock closed to within pennies of the sale price on three different days, so, perhaps next week. The markets are at yearly highs (in fact at eighteen-month highs) so we are being quite careful in what we buy. We are also paper-trading a variety of investment plays to see if one of them may pay off.
We left on Thursday afternoon and drove up to Kenora, where we enjoyed another visit with Eric/A and the boys. Then on Friday, we continued the drive to Regina, arriving here in the early evening.
I have been enjoying watching the national men's curling championships all week even though my hero, Kevin Martin, was unable to participate due to his Olympic commitments. In his place is Kevin Koe, formerly of Yellowknife, so he has become a sentimental favourite, and made it to the playoffs. He won his two games today and has advanced to the final tomorrow against Glenn Howard of Ontario.
Wendy was busy getting errands taken care of and preparing for our departure. Now she is busy taking care of Kristian, and enjoying the visiting. If habits continue, I shall continue heading off to bed around midnight, and she'll join me later; sometimes, much later! We started the week with Eric/A and the boys visiting and celebrating Wendy's sixtieth birthday. That was a nice time! She is thankful to have been remembered by many friends and family for the occasion.
Kristian has been having some issues with his earpieces, so there have been some modifications on those, and some medications on the sores that have developed in his ears. This seems to be having the beneficial effect we hope for, but we shall continue to monitor the situation.
Erin is back home. She was coming down with a cold as the week progressed, so we hope she'll be getting better while we're away.
Trav is also back home. He continues with work, contracts and investments. With the markets iffy here at the top, it is difficult to make confident buys, but he continues to study and paper trade with the rest of us.
And that's the kind of week it's been.
