Another week has passed, and finds us once again on the shore of Lake Superior in my hometown. The week began with another Rider victory, as they took the back-to-back games from Winnipeg. It was reassuring to see their improved performance. Then, today, they scored another victory against Toronto. Still, a lot of work remains for them to gain a playoff spot. The weather has turned decidedly fall-like and we've even seen the threat of frost, but so far so good and the garden continues to flourish. I'm particularly enjoying the tomatoes and wish for even more of those before we return to the low-taste store-bought variety. The markets have continued their troubled ways, but I've managed to have a better-than-average week, so I'm grateful for that. We drove home on Sunday afternoon from Kenora. We enjoyed the CX-7; we found the fuel consumption very similar to what we've enjoyed in our car, but we did find the compartment a little cramped. We shall continue looking at the alternatives; the local Chrysler dealer has a couple of Journeys on the used vehicle lot. I started driving the bus route on my own this week. It was quite a challenge to learn all the twists and turns, but I'm gradually improving my times. I didn't get out golfing until today, but that went fine at least.
Wendy has continued to be busy with Walmart and taking care of the rest of us. This week was a little bit extra as we began the celebrations of Kristian's birthday. That was officially on Friday, but she remains committed to making a Yoda cake, so the extended celebrations may last another week or so!
Kristian turned six yesterday. He got a lot of nice gifts from his teachers and his educational aid as well as from friends and family. The central feature this year is Star Wars, especially Yoda. Erin is back at work, but not for long at this job. She has been offered an accounting position with CarStar, the body shop owned by Halfway Motors, the dealer for Nissan; she'll be glad for that promotion.
Trav continues to be busy setting up his office. He has ended his employment with Impact Promotions, and has taken a service contract with them for his new business, so that transition has gone well. Today was the first draft day for hockey players, then, he'll calculate who is left for them to pick from. Trav, Joanna, Gemma and Andrew joined us for a birthday celebration last evening complete with DQ Ice Cream cake. Thanks guys!
And that's about it for this week.
