Another week has passed and we have travelled from the shore of Lake Superior to the shore of Lake Wascana in the middle of the prairie. We drove over on Wednesday, as we were preparing to leave on Monday for six weeks in India. Alas, plans have changed. I am told that often happens with plans one makes for India! We shall endeavour to remain flexible. The new plan is for us to remain in Regina for some additional time while some of our group waits for their visas, and then depart next Saturday. This also calls for us to return from India on December 2nd, so our time there remains the same, although schedules are being adjusted. We have enjoyed another week of beautiful weather, and I was able to get out golfing a couple of more times. Yesterday, I was golfing with Kristian here in Regina—that was extra special! The markets have recovered a bit, and I've been able to make some buys and achieve some gains. I made quota this week for a change! We cleaned up a few more jobs around the home place before we left. Our changed schedule means we will have more adjustments to make this week to items we had scheduled for our return. We are not assured of our internet connections in India, so be patient waiting for updates while we're over there. India is currently nine and a half hours ahead of Eastern Daylight Time. They do not adjust for daylight saving time, so there will be an another hour added when we fall back to standard time. Wendy has continued to push forward with plans and development of lesson material for the India trip. On Thursday, she was back to the doctor for manipulation of her arthritic fingers—ouch! The Jays are in the divisional playoffs against Texas. I was lamenting that I would miss watching them in the playoffs, but it appears they may be solving that issue for me—they're down 2-0 in the best of five playoff! It could be over as early as tomorrow evening. C'mon Blue Jays, let's play ball! The Riders lost last evening to Hamilton which assures them of missing the playoffs. Now they can get on with the task of rebuilding the team!
Liam had a lengthy week of classes—NOT! Counting two PD Days, he started the Thanksgiving long weekend after class on Wednesday! Liam and Erica stayed overnight in Saskatoon with Chris and Shelley. Liam got a chance to connect with their youngest son, Trevor. Then, on Friday he jammed with the youth pastor in PA—not a bad way to start a five day holiday! Haaken has met some people with Autism Services. He's hoping they will provide some support as he works to obtain employment. Eric had Monday off as a mental health day—an official mental health day, not one of those days when you call in sick because you can find the energy to drag yourself out of bed! What a concept!
Erin and Kristian have had a good week. Then, we arrived on Wednesday night, so they've turn over to being hosts! We're enjoying that! She has also saved a few jobs around the place, so, I'm trying to take care of those while we're here. Kristian took me golfing on Friday as he had a day off school. That was another good time. Erin is lamenting the performance of the Jays along with me, but where there's life, there's hope, so we are hoping for a better result tomorrow! We're expecting the Baileys to arrive tomorrow, and to enjoy Thanksgiving with them on Monday.
Trav and Joanna returned on Monday evening from their sojourn in southern Ontario. They feel like they've made a lot of contacts and things are going well for Bucket Decals, so they expect PuckShots will gradually build a customer base there as well. Gemma and Andrew went with me to the airport to welcome them home on Monday evening. Now, they're back in charge of the estate! Keep eating those tomatoes!
And that's about it for this week.
