The week started with a great bang as the Riders took it to the first-place Bombers. It was a delightful surprise. Tomorrow is the rematch—that'll be the true test of whether these guys have actually turned the corner. The end of this week finds us on the road. We drove up to Dauphin on Friday, took part in Mal's memorial today, and then cruised back to Kenora to ease the drive home, and to apply the chainsaw to a couple of trees. We've had another week of beautiful weather—unseasonably hot, actually, but we're expecting to get back to more comfortable temperatures next week. The markets have been terrible again, and I've given back almost all I gained last week. The Labour Day Monday holiday allowed the family to get out for a round of golf. It was Wendy's first golf of the year, but by wearing two gloves to accommodate her arthritic fingers, she was able to do fine. Erin and Kristian enjoyed the golf as well. And I enjoyed the family experience. I started my new bus run on Wednesday; it is very complex with a lot of twists and turns. I'll be some time learning it! I start driving on my own next Thursday. The garden is continuing to produce, and I'm delaying digging the potatoes until after the first frost.
Wendy is back to work at Walmart. Along with getting the yard cleaned up for Fall, and putting the pool away, she has been busy.
Erin arranged for us to rent a Mazda CX-7 for the weekend, so we're enjoying trying that out. She's been extra busy this week as Kristian has started grade 1. He seems to be doing well in the new situation. He is eagerly looking forward to his birthday, and is prompting grandma with lots of suggestions on how she can make his Yoda cake!
Trav is establishing his own business office. He has begun hockey for another season, and is currently scouting prospects in anticipation of the draft. Joanna keeps busy with her work, and with the kids starting school.
And that's about it for this week.
