News Update

It has been quite a week as we have returned from the headwaters of the Columbia River to the headwaters of the Winnipeg River in Kenora. In between it has been an adventure. We enjoyed our time in Fairmont even though there was no snow. The hot springs were still operating, and I got to walk the golf course several times, even once with Kristian. He rejoiced to find several golf balls and lots of deer poop! It was especially good to share the time with Eric/A and the boys from the start, and then Uncle Dave joined us as well, so we had a good time there. Eric/A and crew headed eastward on Wednesday since Eric has a Thursday evening class in Winnipeg. While they drove east with the assist of 100km winds, we were getting news of trouble in Regina. Wendy's dad fell and broke his left leg and knee. He is in the hospital while a couple of doctors consult, test and prod to determine what the options are for treatment. We anticipate that decision will be made in the next few days. Of course this has been quite a concern for family and friends as well. We packed up one day early in Fairmont and drove over to Regina on Thursday. After spending some time with Dad, we drove down to Kenora today. The week has gone very well on the investment front, so that's a help. I've continued with the cough I developed just before the trip began, so that's not good at all. We plan to complete the trip back to TBay tomorrow. 

Erin has been holding down the fort at home, and attempting to keep the driveway clear of snow in anticipation of our return. Kristian is travelling with us, and takes the various upheavals with a joy that makes life better for all of us. He is scheduled to be back in school on Monday. 

Trav & Joanna are back at work, but we've been able to have video chats from time to time. Trav continues to develop his office, but that hasn't gone too far yet. His Elks hockey team continues to do very well, but his Penguins are in a bit of a slump right now. 

And that's about it for this week.
