News Update

Another week has passed, and we have returned to the shore of Lake Superior and my hometown. We enjoyed spending the weekend in Lawrence, especially the featured sing-song Sunday evening—thank you, Helen & Marti. On Monday we drove back as far as Duluth, and we completed the trip on Tuesday. The weather has turned snowy at the end of the week, and I even did some driveway scraping today. The markets have continued to be troubled; I can't seem to trust either fundamentals or technicals, as the markets seem driven by headline and rumour! Next week features the US Super Committee, so it is unlikely to get better! Hamilton and Edmonton won their semi-final games last Sunday and will travel to Winnipeg and Vancouver, respectively, for the conference finals tomorrow. I have been offered a school bus run, but with our impending trip to Florida, that will have to wait until January. I've been following the President's Cup golf tournament this week from Australia; that was completed this evening. 

Wendy got right back to Walmart upon our return and has put in several shifts there. She also completed her teeth cleaning appointments, so I'm thinking we're all ready to head out again! 

Erin has made progress with Kristian's speech therapist issues. He is now moved to the top of the list, so we're relieved with that. He's making good progress in school, but it was frustrating to contemplate the idea that he would receive no additional help to improve his language skills. His social skills are doing well, also, and he has birthday parties both today and tomorrow. 

Trav's hockey team has continued its winning ways, and his Penguins are doing great as well. Work seems to be continuing apace for both Trav & Joanna. We haven't caught up on Gemma and Andrew this week; their grandma was up from southern Ontario. Wendy enjoyed lunch one day with Joanna and her mom. 

And that's about it for this week.
