We've enjoyed a fine week on the shore of Lake Wascana. The weather has been wonderful, and I've been able to get out golfing several times. The company has been wonderful as well. We're at Dad's place in Regina; Bern, Alicia and Logan are here. Eric/A and the boys were here until Friday. Kristian has spent most of the week with us, and we have frequent visitors and chances to visit others while we are in town. Next week we plan to begin the return trip toward Thunder Bay. The markets have been favourable and I enjoyed five straight days of gains—an infrequent experience, I'm afraid! The US markets are hitting record highs with employment gains and a record budgetary surplus in June (I blame Obama)! The TSX even got into positive territory for the year—0.23% (SHarper is not)! Unfortunately, many pundits keep calling for a correction! At a quarter of one per cent, I don't need a correction unless it is to move upward! However, with the DOW up 18% on the year, one must be wary. The Jays have returned to their floundering ways after making the nice winning streak. The Riders continue to win, improving to 3-0 with a convincing victory over the Champs.
Eric/A and the boys spent most of the week with us in Regina. I enjoyed golfing with Eric & Liam. They should make it most of the way to the coast today.
Kristian has been sleeping over and spending time with his cousins this week. Erin drops by between each stint of work. We're enjoying some time with her, and are planning to take Kristian with us back to TBay for the rest of the summer.
Trav & Joanna are taking care of things back at home, and keep in text contact with us.
And that's about enough for this week.
