News Update

Another week has passed on the shore of Lake Superior in my hometown. The weather has been nice all week, but it has turned showery this weekend. I've managed to get out to practice golf a couple of times and was planning to use some of my Father's Day money to actually play a round this weekend, but, maybe later! The school year is winding down, and the students are into special class outings in the elementary schools and exams in the high schools. The markets ran nicely all week, and TSX hit a new record high. Wendy has the family room primed, and it is looking really good. Now she's painting the ceiling in an upstairs bedroom. Drywall work continues for me, but that aspect is getting close to being finished. The Jays are struggling; they were swept by the Yankees this week, but remain in first place. Preseason is over in football, and I'm looking forward to the regular season.

Erica has had a long week. With the strike it has been a strange combination of busy and quiet. She even took a turn at covering the front desk with all the union staff gone. Eric has heard back from some of the jobs he has been applying on and now they have some deciding to do. Liam and Haaken have enjoyed their early summer. Liam has been visiting back and forth with friends—fun times! Haaken worked on some animation drawings, hand drawing body parts on separate cells in order to animate them. The Mazda 626 has been donated to Teen Challenge, at least that will save on insurance! They have begun work on the septic field at the house in Kenora along with paperwork related to ensuring the apartment is legal. We pray that both will progress well. They have had enough bumps this year and are looking forward to some smoother waters! The icing on the cake would be a buyer for that house.

The school year is also winding down for Kristian. Otherwise, he and Erin continue with their normal activities. Tonight they had a date for a meal out, and to see How to Train Your Dragon II. We are looking forward to spending some time with them during the summer break. 

It was Joanna's birthday this week, so we celebrated with them on Wednesday evening. They are preparing to move into our suite as soon as we can get it ready. We are looking forward to that. 

And that's about enough for this week.
