Another week has passed on the shore of Lake Superior in my hometown. We got back here Sunday evening after a good trip with the truck. It was good to see that the pesticide seems to have overcome the worm infestation, and my rhubarb is thriving once again. Otherwise, I haven't planned much of a garden, but did manage a harvest of beans for my early birthday supper last evening. The markets had a mixed week, but mostly upward and we were blessed with some nice gains. The Riders battled Hamilton for a second time this season and just like last week they managed to build up a big lead (19 points) in the fourth quarter, but could not hold it. As a result they were unable to move into first place on their own. Tomorrow we plan to head westward once again as we are returning to Regina and possibly doing further travelling from there. The car problems persist—it has a parasitic draw that drains the battery when it isn't being used. Repair of that will have to wait until we get to Regina.
Erica has begun work in Parksville. Eric continues with his application for his counselling practicum. Haaken and Liam are spending their summer and getting ready for the move to the Island.
Erin and Kristian are settling into life in Regina. Kristian enjoyed VBS this week. Work begins for Erin next week, and thus the reason for us to be there to take care of Kristian.
Trav is setting up office for his work here in Thunder Bay; progress continues on that front. Joanna, Gemma and Andrew were over for supper last evening to help me begin birthday celebrations—at this age it even takes longer just to have a birthday!
And that's the kind of week it has been!
