Another week has passed on the shore of Lake Superior in my hometown. The weather has turned cool and rainy, so we've been focused on indoor projects. We started on the upstairs bathroom this week. We have the tub pulled out and disposed of, and we've picked out the new shower controls, but not the new tub. The room was clad in knotty pine, and as we removed it, we started to understand why it was there! The walls and ceiling are a mess; there will be a lot of work refinishing. Bus driving is going okay, but I've had six stops added to my route, including many kindergarten children, so I'm struggling to stay on schedule. We've started into another series of teeth cleaning sessions with the college—it provides training for them and cheap cleaning for us! The markets continued to be troubled; the North American indices are in the red for the month, and I didn't make much money this week. The Riders won the return engagement in Winnipeg on Sunday, and are set to play tomorrow in Hamilton. QB Darian Durant was injured in the Winnipeg game, and is gone for the season. It will be a big challenge to see how well the Riders can do without him. The Jays have continued to play very successfully, but they have a big deficit to make up, and it's not looking likely yet!
Erica is off to a Twilight event this weekend. Eric is enjoying getting down to his work in Prince Albert. Liam is settling into school at Caronport, and is playing football this Fall. Haaken continues to wait for school to start in Parksville.
Erin and Kristian are thriving in Regina. The weather has been cool there as well, but they're doing fine. Preparations are underway for Kristian's 9th birthday next week.
Travis has begun another hockey season as training camp is underway for the midget-level players. Work is going well for all concerned. Joanna and Gemma picked up some more wedding work this weekend. Gemma and Andrew are well-engaged in school work by now.
And that's about enough for this week.
