Another week has passed on the shore of Lake Wascana in the middle of the prairie. The cold weather persists, but we finally see some single digits in the long term predictions. Bus driving continues to go well. Wendy had an intervention with her doctor here in Regina, and her finger was frozen and broken free once again. We hope the ongoing therapy can assure greater usefulness for her as she battles arthritis. The markets were very troubled coming out of January and that persisted early in the week, but they turned green later in the week and I was blessed with a full weekly quota. Women's curling dominated the week, but Stephanie Lawton (Saskatchewan) lost in the playoffs this morning, and will play in the bronze medal game tomorrow against Chelsea Carey (Manitoba). Rachel Homan (Ontario) has been dominant all week and will play in the final tomorrow against Val Sweeting (Alberta). The Olympics have started, so we're getting a lot of coverage from Sochi that entices us to remain watching late into the night!
Eric/A and the boys are off to Seattle this weekend. BC has a long weekend, so they're taking the break down there helping them celebrate the Superbowl victory! It was a week of birthday celebrations for Haaken and Liam; that called for a few special events!
Kristian's friend has been very ill, and spent part of the week in the hospital. As a result, Kristian has been unable to use his regular after school care, so we've been able to have the extra time with him each day. Erin joined us for supper a couple evenings. Today they joined us for special BLT egg casserole breakfast from my gluten-free program.
We keep hearing from Travis & Joanna via Facebook or texting. They are keeping very busy in Thunder Bay, and Joanna often calls us on Sunday morning to make sure we're up and off to church!
And that's about enough for this week.
