Another week has passed and finds us on the shore of Winnipeg River in Kenora. We are enjoying a few days with Eric/A and the boys as we wend our way homewards. We have enjoyed a good week with family and friends. Tonight we enjoyed a games evening of Settlers of Catan, and Mexican Train. I got out golfing with Rick & Carolyn last Sunday, and again with Kerry on Wednesday. Then we drove to Kenora on Thursday. The markets have continued to be in crash mode, so it's been a tough week there, and I've 'enjoyed' further losses. I keep thinking and hoping that it's going to turn around, but it's been heading downward since the end of March, so the guys who follow the nostrum, "Sell in May and go away," have been the winners this year. Some progress was made at 55 Laird as the excavation dirt was hauled away, and fresh fill was delivered. Then it was time to call upon Tim and the handy Bobcat—they made short work of filling the trench. Tim also re-landscaped along the back wall to direct water away from there.
Wendy keeps busy where ever she is. Today she's pruning trees and engaging in her ongoing war with the Kenora thistles (not those Kenora Thistles!).
Kristian was the highlight of most occasions in Regina. Now he's having a great time playing with his cousins here. He continues to video chat effectively with his mom back home and even remembered to wish her a happy birthday this week. All too soon, the trip will be over. We have enjoyed having him travel with us. Erin is taking care of things back home since she flew back on Sunday. She has been picking beans and tomatoes as they are ready in the garden.
Trav & Joanna supplied the celebratory birthday pizza (Tropical Chicken from BP) for Erin on Thursday evening. I'm guessing that Trav will try to catch up with lawn mowing this weekend in anticipation of our arrival!!
And that's about it for this week.
