We've had another cool, cloudy week on the shore of Lake Superior in my hometown. Most days we struggled to get above freezing, so my watering-in of the cedars has been suspended. We continue to expect that snow will arrive soon. We seem to be done renovations for now, so I'm getting a rest from that. I've been hoping to get the fridges relocated before winter, but that plan has not received official approval yet! We're certainly enjoying the newly refurbished bathroom upstairs. The cooler weather has brought renewed appreciation of the new gas fireplaces. The markets have bounced around this week with headlines from Ukraine and China roiling the waters, but overall it was up, and I enjoyed a good week of gains, even above my quota. Football playoffs begin this weekend; the Riders play Edmonton in the western semi-final tomorrow afternoon. Go Riders, Go! Hockey is well underway; we're enjoying catching a few games. The second big event in curling is next week, so I'll be firing up the PVR to record those games for me.
Liam was home in Parksville for the weekend; he flew back to Saskatchewan to be met, hosted and eventually driven back to school, when he returned to Regina, by Erin & Kristian. Eric is busy with his work. Erica is busily finishing her work in Parksville and anticipating the move to Prince Albert.
Erin and Kristian are doing better. Kristian's eye health is improved. Erin got the winter tires installed on her car, and feels much more secure driving in the wintery conditions in Regina.
Trav & Joanna 'enjoyed' the hockey tournament in Madison, he has posted photos from there under the title SlaughterFest 2014! The competition was fierce and Trav has decided they've built as much character, and learned as much as they could from playing better teams! They've played a league game this week, and enjoyed a tight game that ended as a win! Otherwise they keep very busy with team and individual photos for Puck Shots! Gemma had excellent results on her first term report and parent-teacher interview. Andrew has been flying around on his new scooter. I'm guessing that'll be over when the snow arrives!
And that's about enough for this week.
