Another beautiful week has passed on the shore of Lake Superior in my hometown. We have enjoyed a great week with Erin and Kristian. We celebrated Erin's birthday on Monday, and just enjoyed having them around all week. It's been a pleasure having Kristian with us most of the summer. The markets have been troubled, and they, in turn, troubled my portfolio! The Riders pulled off another win to improve to 7 and 1, and remain alone in first place. The Jays are just playing out the string in baseball, and aren't even doing that well! The new pool filter pump has performed well, although it's taken most of the week to get caught up with the appropriate chemical balance. We've enjoyed being able to take a break in the pool! Wendy has accepted a job at Liquidation World; she starts on Monday.
Haaken has spent the week on Galiano Island learning about 3D film-making. Eric/A went over there today to pick him up and take in a screening of the movie. Eric had an interview on Thursday for a job in Port Hardy—that would be quite a commute! He has applied on more jobs, and continues to press forward on his own counselling practice as well. Liam is working on football while rollerblading to build up his skating and balance! He and Eric have also enjoyed more games of Settlers of Catan and Risk. Liam is working on his French with a view to making a good start to the school year. Erica received an encouraging visit from an ADM and Superintendent from the Ministry of Education—her friends back in Kenora were shocked that the Ministry would visit; they would never have believed the encouraging part!
Erin spent a relaxing week here in TBay. She and Kristian will be heading back to Regina early in the morning.
Trav, Joanna, Gemma and Andrew got over on several occasions. We also spent time over there, including a nice supper with them this evening. I was able to assist Trav in assembling their new BBQ.
And that's about it for this week.
