Another week has passed, and we have continued to move along from place to place. We enjoyed our Sunday morning with the folks at North Bend, and I was the featured speaker! We prolonged our stay with Howard and Diane until Wednesday so we could take in the Pizza & Pickin' night with uncle Bordie at the local diner. It was a good time! Thank you How & Di for the lovely stay. On Wednesday, we drove north and east to Hinton where we spent the night. We continued eastward to Prince Albert on Thursday where we moved in with the Baileys. On Good Friday morning we enjoyed a multi-church service with them, where Erica was one of the featured singers. We've enjoyed some down time here, and both got after some household tasks today. The markets were open only four days, and zigzagged up and down on alternate days, but with an overall small gain for me. There have been plenty of sports action with NHL teams playing out the last of the schedule and attempting to lock up playoff positions. On the other end of the standings, teams are looking to maximize their chances at the #1 draft choice! Women's curling has been the main attraction all week long with Chelsey Carey working through the struggles to nail down a playoff spot. She fell to Russia this afternoon, so she will move on to the bronze medal game tomorrow against Russia again. Japan has advanced to play Switzerland in the gold medal game. The Jayhawks ran out a comfortable win over Maryland on Thursday, but failed to take their place in the final four with a loss to Villanova this evening. This has been my expectation for them all season; I am very disappointed that they haven't made the final four.
It's a wonderfully full house weekend at the Baileys with Liam home from school and now we are visiting as well. Eric and Erica were at their final French class this morning. They are doing a final presentation en français about a member of the family! I'm sure it was good and fun. After the multi-church service on Good Friday morning, there was also an Easter egg treasure hunt for Haaken and Liam, and lots of shared chocolate treats! And this is the weekend for Hometown Hockey in Prince Albert, so there was plenty of extra activity and excitement over that.
Erin and Kristian are also on holidays for an extended weekend. Kristian continues with school break all of next week, so we plan to stay there and provide day care for him. This weekend they're helping Shawn, Astrid and Liam celebrate their new home.
Trav & Joanna have been fighting snow in TBay and keeping up with work. Trav's team swept the second round of the playoffs, and are ready for the finals. Trav wrote a special feature on the team's "flow game" this week, which received notice by TSN. Nicely done! Gemma and Andrew are back from southern Ontario and into school again, but enjoying the four-day long weekend all the same.
And that's about it for this week.
