News Update

We've enjoyed a beautiful week of weather here on the shore of Lake Superior in my hometown. We have been enjoying the weather, but I did not go golfing. I was planning to go yesterday or today, but didn't take advantage yesterday, and then it was very windy today. The longer range forecast predicts cooler weather next week, sigh! Upstairs renos have continued to make progress and the results are fulfilling. We have purchased hardwood flooring for the living room, and I plan to let it sit and acclimate for quite some time before starting that project! The markets were very good this week except for the one day sell-off after the shooting in Ottawa. I managed to make some buys and increase to over 25% in the market again. The hard drive on my laptop failed, so I ordered a new solid state drive, and installed that yesterday—it's working well! The Riders played on Sunday and again last evening; they lost both games, but did show some promise and improvement. The World Series continued with the fourth game today. KC is doing well, but took a spanking tonight! They're tied 2-2 in games. 

Haaken and Liam's school schedules coincided with PD days on Thursday and Friday. Haaken spent them hanging out at home, making and watching videos on his laptop. Liam got to visit with his Dad in Prince Albert for the weekend. This required Eric to round-trip Caronport (4.5 hours each way!) on Wednesday night, so the remainder of his week was a bit fuzzy, but he is enjoying the visit as well. Erica is continuing to wrap things up in Parksville, preparing to leave in December. She is also looking at some employment possibilities in Saskatchewan. 

Erin managed to get a compounding pharmacist to reconstitute the Erythromycin in a liquid form, which Kristian is able to take. As a result his eyes are improving, but there's quite a long path to travel there. He is also taking pro-biotics to rebuild the good bacteria in his system, as the e-mycin kills them off as well! 

Trav & Joanna are very busy with hockey photos these days. It's the start of the season and many teams are organized to get this done quickly. His team has rebounded from the opening loss and put together two solid victories since. Gemma and Andrew are busy with school and friends. Joanna had a particularly busy week at work as they had a big sale on winter clothing. 

And that's about enough for this week.
