News Update

Another week has passed, and we have returned from the Winnipeg River to the sunny shores of Lake Superior and my hometown. We drove back down here on Monday morning as Wendy had a shift on Monday afternoon. It was a good time in Kenora, and a good trip. This was another four-day work week, and I managed to cycle my way through it successfully. The TSX completed a month of decline, but I've managed to make a small profit in the end, so that was good. Bus driving continues to go fine. I've started outside work with the lawns and gardens, and am also doing some repairs to the back fence to discourage Sadie (Erin's dog) from crawling out! And I'm back in the annual quest for an effective golf game!

We've had concerns this week over the health of Wendy's dad. He's spent most of the week in the hospital, and but has returned home, and, he insists, is doing fine. We're relieved. More tests and the associated results may shed further light on the matter, so we pray that answers will be found and remedies, if any, taken.

Wendy continues to take care of business in the shoe department at the local Wally World. She has been busy as well with the renovations to the kitchen in the church building. She loves kitchen cabinets! This may have also reawakened her interest in renovations around the house, so, I'm forewarned—unfortunately, there is no forearmed in this case! Wendy lost her friend, Louise, this week; she is assisting with funeral preparations.

Kristian enjoyed the trip up to Kenora to visit his cousins. It was a three-day Lego/Star Wars extravaganza! Erin continues to be busy with work and cheering on the Blue Jays. She is particularly delighted when they knock off the Yankees.

Trav has been family-sitting this weekend. Joanna's step-father passed away, so, she's off to be with her mother, and Trav's taking care of things at home. He is also grieving as his Pens lost out in the playoffs. Now, he is able to dedicate his interest in the Canucks, who opened their next series with a win, but then lost tonight in overtime.

And that's about it for this week.
