Another beautiful week has passed on the shore of Lake Superior in my hometown. School has started for another year, and I'm back in the bus driving routine. I've managed a bit of golf practice and enjoying it a great deal. The garden is producing and we're enjoying eating beans, Swiss chard, beet greens and tomatoes. The markets are volatile, but gained a little value this week, so I'm hoping the correction is over and we can resume more normal activity. I had a small gain, but not enough to reach my quota. Of course, September and October are usually the most difficult months on the markets, but we're hoping they got those ideas out of their minds during the bad months we've already had! The TSX is only up 3% for the year, but then again, our economy is not doing well, so maybe I'm expecting too much. The Riders continued their winning ways beating Winnipeg in the Labour Day game, and will try to beat them again tomorrow in the return engagement. I am also enjoying watching the golf playoffs.
Eric has obtained some part-time work; he continues to look for work in his career field. The boys are back to school and Erica is back at work at the school board office. Liam is taking an extended hockey assessment prior to the regular season. The family has decided to capitalize on the movie-making prowess of the boys to produce a family movie. It's been fun so far! They enjoyed hosting Tanis & Tom (friends from Kenora) as they visited on the Island.
Kristian is enjoying grade 3 so far. He has lost another tooth this week, so his economy has improved! Erin has secured a good short-term arrangement for after school care. We hope that may continue for the longer term as well.
Trav & Joanna are hard at work. Joanna is getting more work than she likes! Gemma and Andrew have started back to school.
And that's about enough for this week.
