News Update

Another week has passed and we have driven away from the shore of Lake Superior and my hometown. On Monday we hooked up the Mazda to a UHaul trailer and packed up the rest of Erin's stuff. We drove up to Kenora, on Tuesday, and overnighted with Eric/A and the boys. We picked up a bunk bed frame for Kristian and had to repack a lot of the load to get it into the trailer. We completed the trip to Regina on Wednesday and, thanks to many helpers, got Erin's stuff carted up to her third-floor apartment. It's a hot and sweaty country out here this year. We spent the next days assembling furniture and helping Erin set up her apartment. Friday was a special—our kids gave us tickets to see Neil Diamond in concert in Saskatoon. We drove up there and enjoyed a fun evening with thousands of close friends! Travis is taking care of things at home. We're feeling more than a little exhausted and looking forward to a few slow days. I haven't paid enough attention to the markets this week, but was blessed to see an upturn the last couple of days to make some gains. Bern, Alicia & Logan are home from Mexico, so we are enjoying catching up with them. Dave and Dad are doing well. Dad is keeping up with physio sessions and daily exercise and is getting around pretty well. The Riders defeated the Eskimos last Sunday and, this afternoon, edged out the Lions in an early season battle for first place. 

Eric/A and the boys continue to play the waiting game on their house sale. Eric has received a favourable proposal on his practicum, so that's looking much better. 

It was good to catch up with Erin and Kristian in Regina. He is loving his new place and his own room. He took easily to the bunk bed once we got that set up. Sadie travelled with us and has also settled into her new home. 

Trav got good news with the establishment of his office area with Qwantech this week. He is going to publish the next Ulrich Design newsletter sometime next week. He would be glad to have you subscribe: http://ulrichdesign.ca/subscribe. Joanna is enjoying her new patio furniture and barbecue. 

And that's about it for this week.
