News Update

Another week has passed on the shore of Lake Wascana in the middle of the prairies. We continue to enjoy the favourable weather as winter avoids Regina this year. Friday was +14 when I grabbed a golf club and went for my afternoon walk. The week has gone well. Wendy has been busy as she completed several tasks in preparation for the weekend with the women (including Erica) at the Spa! She's in Moose Jaw this weekend, and reports to be enjoying it just fine!

Lookin' Good@Goofy Gala!

We're batching here at home, and struggling to keep body and soul together! The nice week of weather culminated in a BBQ supper tonight—thanks for the burn, Bern! The markets continue to be dismal, and with only one trading day left in the month, I feel I have no prospects to make quota this month. Fortunately, Friday was green, and I managed to make a weekly quota in just one day! I've been watching curling all week. Chelsey Carey of Alberta is in the final tomorrow, and tonight's semi-final saw TBay's Krista McCarville, beat Jones to advance to the final against Carey. Kansas played two good games, winning both to clinch the conference championship for the twelfth straight year. It is likely they will also be moved back to #1 ranking when those are announced later this weekend, and probably guaranteed a #1 seed in March Madness. 

The Baileys enjoyed the time in Paris and returned home to enjoy Spring! Paris was amazing; they report the highlights were Juno Beach, Disneyland Paris, Notre Dame Cathedral, the Louvre, Versailles and the Eiffel Tower! Although, chocolat chaud, and le pain au chocolat were right up there as well! They also caught colds over there, but Haaken seems to have been hit the worst—he's still coughing up phlegm. They flew back in on Wednesday evening, and we were able to give them a break by driving to Saskatoon, and ferrying Liam down to Caronport for school! They had already had a long day, and were very tired, and very thankful—pas de problème! Now they're all back at work and school and checking travel deals for the next big adventure! Haaken is anxiously waiting for a positive response from Capilano University—we pray that may be so.

Erin and Kristian have both been ill during the week and missed both work and school. They seem much recovered now, and we're enjoying Friday night together. Today, they enjoyed swimming, Boston Pizza and movie time! 

Trav & Joanna along with Gemma and Andrew are holding down the fort at home. There were some internet issues there, but finally we got enough of Shaw's attention to get it fixed. Otherwise things are progressing fine there. Trav's team picked up another couple of wins as they tune up for the playoffs. 

And that's about enough for this week!
