Another week has passed on the shore of Lake Superior in my hometown. We have continued to have beautiful weather starting off with +10 degrees and finally turning colder this weekend. We are now promised a week of subzero temperatures, with the probability of getting some snow. The markets have been running from press conference to press conference on the US budget negotiations. This has produced a down week, and I've suffered along with the markets. Wendy is out in Parksville with Erica and the boys. This weekend she's up in Port McNeil where Liam's team is playing in a hockey tournament. I'm expecting her back next Friday. Sports highlights were the Canada Cup curling finals on Sunday where Stephanie Lawton and Jeff Stoughton gave me two wins. Otherwise, with the NHL in lockout, I've not had much to interest me.
Eric is south for classwork in Winnipeg and made a visit to Kenora. Erica and the boys are enjoying having mom/grandma there. Plenty of baking and puzzles are taking place. This weekend the crew traveled to Port McNeill for Liam's hockey tournament. At last report, they had won their first two games easily and the third game 7-3, so they're in the championship game tomorrow.
Erin, Kristian (and Mark) keep frequent contact via video chat. It's good to see and hear them. Kristian has blown a hearing aid, so it's being repaired. Mark has concerns for Kiara's health; we are praying for an early remedy to her issues. Kori is also there this weekend. The three children play well together.
Trav is back in the truck problems! As a result, I now have the truck, while he has the car. After a stern talking to, it is behaving for me. We'll see how long this lasts! Joanna is hosting her parents this weekend who are up from TO. Andrew continues to heal and has a removable cast now. Gemma is doing well. Trav's team won the championship last weekend—congrats all around!
And that's about it for this week.
