News Update

We've had a week of mostly wet weather here on the shore of Lake Superior in my hometown. Still, it has been nothing compared to what some are suffering with seasonal and rain-induced flooding. I have been able to continue cycling to work except for one day, although I did get soaked riding home one afternoon. It cleared off on Friday afternoon, and was mostly sunny today except for the inevitable thunder storms produced by daytime heating. I managed to get a golf game in today; I scored 86 on my first try of the year—very satisfactory! The markets have continued along their troubled ways this week, but I have finally managed to make some gains for the first week this month. The garden is progressing well, and both tomatoes and potatoes are starting to flower.

Wendy has continued with regular shifts at Walmart. She is doing well there, and is counted on by management to keep the shoe department in order. We got some more soil, so she is also busy with additional planter pots to display her flowers.

Kristian had his graduation on Friday! He has progressed well, and will now look forward to grade one in the Fall. Erin has taken on extra accounting work in the evenings to help another firm catch up with their accounts. This should be fairly short term. This weekend, she's off to Duluth for a shopping and fun trip with a few friends.

Trav continues to be very busy with regular work and contracts. He's still waiting to hear the decision on his grant application. Joanna is doing well, and keeping very busy. We enjoyed spending time with the whole crew on Father's Day and again for a family supper Friday evening. Trav has been busy following the NHL entry draft this week.

And that's about it for this week.
