Another week has passed, and finds us on the shore of Winnipeg River in Kenora, five hours driving from my hometown. The weather has turned nice again, and I have enjoyed riding my bike to work each day. I even set a record coming home Thursday evening as I had a tail wind! Good Friday and Easter Monday are school holidays, so I get two four-day weeks surrounding a four-day weekend—this could catch on! Investments have continued to be difficult, but this week turned upward again, so I managed to pick up almost a full per cent. On Friday morning, we drove, with Kristian, up to Kenora to spend the weekend with Eric/A and the boys. We enjoyed a church Pot Luck and Good Friday observance with them. We look forward to Resurrection Sunday tomorrow! Today we watched Liam take his Karate test (he now has his blue stripe belt), and caught up with the goings on in riverside life in Kenora.
Wendy has been working all week, and was scheduled to work today, but she managed to switch shifts so we could travel. She has been in a cake-making mode lately—she made another today—and I must say it's serving to defeat most of the benefits of my bike riding! She's also been doing some voluntary work in collecting for the Kidney Foundation and phoning for the local NDP candidate during the current federal campaign.
Erin is busy at work; a hail storm has made for more repair work than the body shops can keep up with, and more call for rental cars than the city can provide. On top of all that, she has to help the Blue Jays break out of an early season slump. Her work kept her from joining us on the trip this weekend.
Trav has managed to get his Penguins and the Canucks to the clinching game in the first round of the playoffs. However, the Pens lost their first try at clinching today, and the Canucks have blown their first two chances to go through. Both sit with 3-2 leads in the best of seven.
And that's about it for this week.
