News Update

Another week has passed and we are in Dauphin. We left Regina on Thursday; I've been golfing here yesterday and today in our annual cross-border event. This year we expanded the border designation and played Canada vs Mexico! I played for the Mexican team, and we won—it was very close at the end, but we won one of the final two games to take the overall title. It was more than a little too much for me, and I was fading in the final round, but we certainly had fun! It was good to reacquaint with old friends. While in Dauphin, we're enjoying staying with Bob & Linda, and catching up with other friends. The markets have been up and down this week, but in the end, I was blessed with an excellent week of above quota earnings. The weather has been beautiful, but it was interspersed with a number of thunderstorms with at least four tornadoes and hail. Several of our friends suffered hail damage to their vehicles and property. The Jays have begun the second half of their season, but are doing no better than before. The Riders are not playing until tomorrow, so they're holding at 3-0 until then.

Eric/A and the boys have returned home, and Erica has returned to work. Among other tasks, she has taken care of a back-log of over 3000 emails. Eric has been applying on positions and looking into the requirements to set up a counselling business—lots of red tape and hoops-to-jump-through there! The boys have been enjoying the lazy, hazy days of summer, but not too much crazy! The weather is beautiful there, and they are enjoying it. 

Erin had a tough time saying good-bye to Kristian as he boarded our vehicle to begin his summer stay with Grandpa & Grandma. She has flights scheduled for the end of the summer to come down and get him. 

We haven't heard much from Trav & Joanna this week, but they seem to be taking care of things just fine. 

And that's about it for this week.
