Another week has passed in Qualicum Beach on the shore of the Pacific. The weather has been nice, and I've been out golfing again. I now have eight rounds in out here, and have a range of scores from 78 to 88. My leg continues to have some pain and swelling, but Ibuprofen and Rub A-535 keep me going. The markets had another volatile week with the Grecian politics and economics causing turmoil world-wide. At least I had another good week, and remain on quota for the month and the year to date. Wendy continues to operate the taxi service as although Haaken has been doing his school work from home, he still has drama practice, art classes and counselling appointments. This weekend he has flown out to Saskatchewan to spend time with his family and celebrate birthdays for both boys. Meanwhile, we got his computer back yesterday, and it seems to be running fine; fortunately, Apple took care of the related costs! How and Di have come over to visit us here, so we're enjoying spending time with them, visiting the places they are familiar with from their years in Nanaimo and Alberni. Curling starts again this weekend as the Scotties begins in Moose Jaw; I'll be following that closely!
Eric/A are reassembling their family for Family Day! Haaken flew out on Friday which raised their ratio to 0.75 of the family together. That rounds up to 1.0, so maybe that was a full family already. Today they drove through a Snowado to Regina on their way to pick up Liam. He's attending Youth Quake, but then has most of next week off, so when they pick him up tomorrow their empty nest will be full again. On the car front, they have heard, unofficially, that it is a write-off! It will remain unofficial until they can make contact with the adjuster. They have a rental for now, so at least they have transportation. If the write-off happens it will mark an exceptionally short career for that car! At least the rental has Bluetooth, so they're enjoying that!
Erin and Kristian are pushing through another snowy week in Regina. It's Valentine's week, so Kristian has prepared sixty cards for his classmates and teachers—that's a lot of "Dear..." "From Kristian"! Today they've enjoyed spending the day at Papa's house visiting with Eric, Erica and Haaken.
Travis, Joanna and crew are also fighting snow in TBay. His hockey team is pushing toward first place in the league as they have put together a good streak of games including the tournament win.
And that's about enough for this week.
