Another week has passed on the shore of Lake Superior in my hometown. We are enjoying the Thanksgiving weekend with our family here in TBay. The turkey is planned for Sunday evening! The weather has been cool and rainy most of the week, but it turned nice for the weekend—must be some mistake! The markets have continued to be awful! TSX has dropped 8% since the summer, and the DOW is now in the red for the year. I've been stopping out of positions, but the remaining holdings continue to lose money, and another one hit the stop this week—sigh! September is historically the worst month for the markets, but October has continued the theme, and I'm not enjoying it. Work continues on the upstairs bathroom and we're getting close. I've been busy mowing lawns the last two days, so I haven't pulled out the old vanity and installed the new one although we're at that stage finally. Baseball has moved into the playoffs and I'm following it a bit more closely, cheering for KC and SF to make it to the final and for KC to win it all. Football continues toward the playoffs. Riders are in good position in the standings but in bad position without their franchise QB. They play in Montreal on Thanksgiving Day. Go Riders, Go!
Haaken got the part of the coach in Grease. Liam's football team won their game on Wednesday despite his continued absence. He worked on game film from the sidelines. Erica, Haaken and Jenny flew out to Regina on Thursday to meet up with Eric and Liam and spend Thanksgiving weekend together. They plan on Tunnel Tours in Moose Jaw along with impromptu tours of Briercrest and Dog River (Roleau)! They plan turkey supper for Sunday. Erica lost her purse on the trip to Regina, probably on the plane. West Jet indicates they would have found it and returned it by now, however, she flew Air Canada, so she's cancelling her cards and replacing her ID. She had a job interview in Saskatoon on Friday; she expects to hear the results of that in the next couple of weeks.
Erin continues to recover from her cold, and to battle the landlord over bed bugs! Kristian is not doing well. Even while working through another prescription for his eye problems, Erin finally decided it was too much and took him to emergency. As a result, his diagnosis has been upgraded and so have the medical interventions. They are trying to change the chemistry of his eyes as his own systems seem to be working against him. We pray this will result in improvement and eventual healing. They are celebrating Thanksgiving weekend with the Baileys, enjoying the tours and planning turkey supper at Grandpa's in Regina.
Trav and Joanna continue to be very busy with their various jobs. Joanna and Gemma are working a large wedding this weekend. Hockey season has begun, so team photos and stickers are hot items. Of course the NHL early season is also attracting Trav's attention and he's enjoying the early season success of the Penguins.
And that's about enough for this week!
