Snow was threatening the shores of Lake Wascana, so we took the hint and headed east. We drove down to Kenora on Good Friday, and plan to complete the trip to TBay tomorrow. The weather has been lovely in Regina and we have enjoyed that very much. My back has continued to recover and I got another treatment this week. We are enjoying a nice day and good weather here on the Winnipeg River. The markets have suffered another down week, and I even resorted to buying shorts to salvage some gains out of the situation. The men have been competing the World Championship of curling in Basel, Switzerland, and our representatives have been doing well. They are in the championship game tomorrow against Scotland.

My Jayhawks put up a nobel fight on Monday, but could not overcome UK in the basketball final. Wendy has kept busy, and kept all of us up to date on Ellis's progress in rehab. He has been gaining strength and walking more. He's been fitted for a new elevated shoe and we look forward to even more progress once that is built and delivered. Last weekend was the Homecoming at Western and we enjoyed meeting many friends—some of whom were surprisingly old! I also scored a memento of my time there years ago when we won the very first provincial championship for the school—thank you, Marilyn.
Eric and the boys are hosting us this weekend. Erica is away for the long weekend with her long time friends from TBay. Liam has changed his mind and now may be building a tree house! Haaken is making good progress at school. Eric is rejoicing because his lousy Canucks that everyone loves to put down, managed to sneak out the Presidents Trophy for best regular season team in hockey for the second year running.
Erin and Kristian have been taking care of the house. They have things pretty well cleaned up in anticipation of our return. It's the opening of the baseball season and both of them enjoy seeing the Blue Jays start off with two wins.
Trav continues to work and develop his business. It seems to be going well, and he has a nice home office to use. Joanna keeps busy with her blood-letting! Andrew had a wrestling tournament last weekend and gave evidence of being a talented grappler, an excellent sport, and a fine young man.
The regular season ended this evening and 16 NHL teams now move on to the Stanley Cup playoffs. Some teams have made a habit of appearing in these playoffs, while others, sadly, have not!
And that's about it for this week.
