Another week has passed on the shore of Lake Superior in my hometown. The weather has been hot all week, but has turned showery as a weekend special! We have made significant progress on the renovations. Wendy got the carpets cleaned downstairs on Friday. There are still some doors to hang and baseboard to apply, but the place is pretty much ready to go. We set the pool up, and it's warmed nicely. I got in some golf practice, and still hope to get in a round this weekend if the weather turns sunny again. The markets were thin all week with holidays both sides of the border. I was only able to get half my quota. The Riders were blown out by the Argos this afternoon, and the Jays have fallen out of first place. Milos and Genie both lost out at Wimbledon, although both achieved very good success all the same. Grandpa K had a bad week as the heavy rainfall last weekend backed up the sewer system into his basement again, causing considerable damage downstairs that will require extensive renovations, sigh!
Eric has accepted a counsellor position in Prince Albert, Saskatchewan. He starts August 18th. Liam is applying to go to Briercrest High School. At this point Erica and Haaken are staying in Parksville—I think this family is confused! Eric spent the week working on details of moving to Prince Albert and monitoring work on the septic field in Kenora. The most recent cost estimates are lower than the initial which is promising, but they are only estimates. Liam filled out his application for school. He also spent time with friends. Haaken is doing a room reorganization. He's cleared out several boxes from his closet. Unfortunately, Eric has filled those boxes with books. This weekend Haaken heads over to Vancouver for a one-month course at Emily Carr. Erica took the family over to a colleague's house for Canada day. They overlook the ocean, affording a great view of the fireworks. The eating was good for both people and bugs.
Erin and Kristian had an interesting week. Kristian has been spending his days over at Papa's, and has been introduced the fine art of "garage sale-ing". He cleared some cash through selling of some of this stuff, but is still looking for more to buy the Lego set he has in his sights! Erin celebrated the return of sunshine by getting a sunburn.
Trav & Joanna are busily preparing for the move. They've been culling stuff, and have even started moving a bit. Gemma and Andrew flew to Toronto today to spend some weeks with the grandparents down there. They should be all moved into their new rooms upon their return.
And that's about enough this week.
