Another week has passed on the shore of Lake Superior in my hometown. The weather has been lovely with single digits over most nights and mostly sunny days. I was looking forward to some golf today, but I came down with a cold on Wednesday, so I'm trying to get some extra rest to overcome that. The markets have been down this week and I stopped out of three of my holdings leaving me with a down week, but a good month. We have been busy with the final details of the church building sale. Wendy, especially, has been involved in a lot of the dispersal and cleanup. However, she took sympathy with my cold struggles and made me rice pudding today—yummy! The Riders started the week with a win over Calgary on Sunday, and ended the week with an overly tense win over the first place BC Lions. Way to go, Riders!
Eric has begun his work in The Pas, but is already planning his first trip home at the end of next week. Erica is taking care of things in Parksville. She has the car, but it failed this week, so that's a concern. It turns out to be that the Exhaust Gas Regulator was clogged and ruined; a replacement EGR is expected next week. Haaken is making progress with his guitar lessons and has adjusted his career choice to rock star! The boys have joined a local youth group and are pleased to have friends from school in the same group.
Erin also had a car issue this week—a girl on a bicycle ran into the side of her car as she was driving along a street. The girl got up, grabbed her bike and cycled away. Erin is left with an estimated $2500 damage to her car. Kristian continues with school and is progressing well. We are glad to see them regularly on FaceTime.
Trav is back into hockey coaching. He is pleased with the team they have drafted for this season. His work is keeping him busy, and the hockey is a nice change of pace. We are glad to have Trav, Joanna and family with us here in TBay.
And that's about it for this week.
