News Update

Another week has passed, and we are found on the shore of the largest lake on the planet—the Pacific Ocean! We started the week, with Eric/A and the boys, on Lake Okanagan where we enjoyed being hosted by John & Marion. Monday morning, bright and early, we headed westward hoping to make the 12:45 ferry at Tsawwassen. However, even a better than expected passage over the Coquihalla was not enough to overcome the backroads and traffic of Vancouver. We adjusted our plan and headed for Horseshoe Bay. After an adventurous crossing of the city, we finally got there, but didn't manage to all get on the same ferry, so Wendy, driving our car, and Eric, driving the UHaul made it over to Nanaimo while Erica, driving the CRV, and I, driving the Mazda, had to wait. The markets have continued to make progress, but they seem to be slowing down. I had another good week, so that helps. Mike, Eric and I even got out golfing yesterday and really enjoyed that. I didn't play well, but managed enough pars to take care of my triple bogies to come in with a round at exactly bogie golf. The Riders don't play until tomorrow, but we'll be cheering! 

We have spent the week moving the Baileys into their new place in Parksville. It's quite a lovely condo, close to Erica's work, but quite a hike for Liam and Haaken to get to school. Erica is already at work, but she took Friday off, which was nice for us. 

Kristian is enjoying the time with his cousins. Although our internet service is currently very poor, he has managed a couple of video chats with Erin back in Regina when we were out at wifi hotspots. Erin is celebrating her birthday today! 

Travis continues to hold down the fort back in TBay. Among other things he did an interview about his work which is available as a podcast through this link. He also sent two pictures of his office set up; check them here and here

And that's about it for this week.
