News Update

We've enjoyed another hot week on the shore of Lake Wascana in the middle of the prairie. We've been experiencing sunny days of 30 degrees, and that's a bit hot for me. I did get out golfing with Kristian on Wednesday, so that was pretty special. The markets have been very volatile and troubled. All US indices ended red for the month, and the DOW is red for the year, but we still have analysts saying we're in a bubble and due for a "correction". Sigh! It was a red month for me, so I need a correction, but not in the direction they're talking about! Today was Kresten and Starlet's wedding in Weyburn; we enjoyed a drive down there and all the activities of the day. It was particularly nice to catch up with so many people. The Jays have been doing quite well, although they lost the last two, but they're in the playoffs as things stand now. The Riders blasted Ottawa this afternoon, but have a short week coming up before the Winnipeg game. 

Eric continues to wrap things up for his job in BC, and prepare for the move to Prince Albert. We plan to head out there next week to see if we can assist and possibly take his mind off it with a golf game! Haaken is completing his summer course at Emily Carr University. 

We've been staying at Erin's place in Regina—thanks for the excellent hosting! Wendy has continued to sort Lego from Kristian's massive collection. She is nearing completion! Kristian and I have enjoyed golf and baseball activities. Sadie is enjoying all the attention. 

Trav, Joanna, Gemma and Andrew are working through summer in TBay. All seems to be progressing well. At the end of the week my driver's licence arrived, and they received that and sent it on to us. Thanks guys! We've been catching up with them from time to time via text and FaceTime. 

And that's about enough for this week.
