News Update

Another week has passed and we have turned our wheels eastward. We have driven as far as Kenora today, on our way to Lake Superior and my hometown. I was supposed to be golfing this weekend in Bismarck, but the passports got left at home, so I couldn't cross the line. On the positive side, I did get to avoid golfing/surviving in 37 degree heat! The markets have continued their troubled ways that don't always make sense to me, but I did manage to have a good week all the same (Even the blind pig finds the odd turnip!). I got a pair of new tires on the Mazda, so it's on new feet all around now. Wendy has been busy helping Erin get additional furniture, curtains and decorations for her new place. We have enjoyed spending some of the time over at Dad's place where he continues to rehab both at home and at Wascana. We had a birthday celebrations for Alicia and Dave to highlight a couple of evenings. The Riders gave away a game to Calgary after leading by about three touchdowns; that was sad to watch! 

Eric/A continue to develop their plans to move to Parksville. Erica flew out today to start her new position on Monday. Eric, the boys, and the UHaul should be joining her in August. Then Eric will need to return for his practicum in The Pas which will run most of the school year. Such a solution could only be concocted by God (or a Bailey). Hopefully they will also soon have news of the sale or rental of their house. 

Erin, Kristian and Sadie are pretty much settled into their place in Regina. Curtains and blinds have been purchased and installed. Furniture has been bought, assembled and moved around to establish their living spaces. 

Trav has been taking care of things at home. He has had vehicle problems with the car, so we'll have to look into that when we get home. Otherwise work has continued, and we haven't heard too much. 

And that's about it for this week.
