We've enjoyed a week of beautiful weather here on the shore of Lake Wascana, with single digits every day, and many of the days above zero. The melting has considerably improved the streets and roads as I've been driving bus all week. The first assignment has gone well, and I was able to drive by memory on Thursday and Friday. Next week, I change to another route, which, it is planned, will be my assignment until we leave in March. Investments have continued to go well even though the markets have been a bit wonky. I have been blessed with the quota for the month already, so I hope to build on that during the next two weeks. Jeff Stoughton scored the big win in the Curling Skins. Lawton will represent Saskatchewan at the Scotties. The curling this week is the Continental Cup being played in Las Vegas. My American football interest remains as Denver won, but they come up against a tough opponent tomorrow! Wendy keeps busy with home care, shopping, and has now fallen victim to the big D—there's something I hope she keeps to herself! She's in the market for new skates as she's found her old ones unacceptable. I'm thinking I should replace mine as well.
Erica has been very busy with facility reviews and other meetings. She also got medical testing, and has not experienced the same success as I have through going gluten-free as some of her blood chemistry came back asking for attention! A recent trip saw them losing $4 on the way, but the search revealed Liam's hat they thought had been left in Chicago—win some, lose some! Haaken has been accepted into the summer program at Emily Carr University, so the family is trying to build a month in Vancouver into their summer plans. Liam, Eric/A have determined to start going to a gym program each week—only once each week as it stands right now!
Erin has been suffering ill health all week, but she has continued to struggle to work. On Monday, she answered a call for Jury Duty, but that was short lived as she was dismissed as soon as she walked in. We're thinking the trial must have come to an early end. Kristian is back at school and achieving some good ratings. He had a skating day this week as well. We're hoping Grandma gets new skates and all of us can get out skating soon.
Trav & Joanna were in Minnesota for a hockey tournament last weekend. That was fun, although the team did not experience much success. Now they're back at more usual routines of work and business. This weekend, Trav's team is in a local tournament and have struggled to a 2-2 record in pool play. Now they're in the playoff round. They're also taking care of our house. Thanks for that!
And that's about it for this week.
