Our dear friend, Marti Elford, is just completing a tour to Zambia. Her excellent blog is recommended.
Another week has passed and we have wandered far from the shore of Lake Superior and my hometown. On Wednesday we drove up to Kenora, and stopped overnight with Eric/A and the boys. Then, on Thursday, we continued the tour westward in pouring rain to Regina. We noticed a lot of surplus water in the ditches and fields throughout Manitoba and across eastern Saskatchewan. On the radio, we heard lots of lamentations about the rainfall and the difficulties with seeding and growing crops. After resting on Friday, we drove down to Gravelbourg on Saturday morning, to observe the interment of Auntie. We enjoyed time with family, and were grateful to have the chance to say good-bye. Kristian was delighted to play with a large variety of new cousins he'd never met before. It was a very good day.
The markets seem to be showing some resiliency lately, and as a result, I've been making some recovery as well. I am close to profit territory on several of my holdings now, so it's encouraging. Until then, I remain stuck at 10.8% gain, as I'm closing in on nine months of work.
The garden is flourishing, and Erin will care for it while we're away. Thanks, Erin! We have Kristian with us, so we'll take care of him in return!! The rainy weather has delayed the garden here in Regina, but there is a lot of rhubarb ready, so I'll get to work on picking and cutting that.
Erin and Travis remain busy at work, but will fly out for the family reunion later.
And that's about it for this week.
