Another week has passed on the shore of Lake Wascana in the middle of the prairies. The weather has continued to be unseasonably warm and we're enjoying it very much. It was a winter of almost no snow here, and what did come is long gone. Golf is in the air! Wendy continues to limp with her sore knee; the meds provide some relief, but nothing in the way of healing! She celebrated her 66th birthday throughout the week, and was delighted with a special gift from her children in the form of a hot wax spa for her arthritic fingers—thanks folks! The markets have continued the uptrend—that is good to see! The DOW and the S&P500 have both achieved the "Golden Cross", so I'm hope-filled! I managed to pick up almost a full month this week, so, I've gained quota for March, and trying to make up for the lack I had in February. It's been a full week of curling, and my four picks made the playoffs. Gushue beat Jacobs last night to advance to the final. Koe beat McEwen this afternoon, and then beat Jacobs in the semi-final tonight. So, it will be Gushue vs Koe in the final tomorrow and while I'll be cheering for Koe, I'll be happy either way. Golf is starting to get serious as we're in the countdown to the Masters. Hockey is in the homestretch and playoff races are tight—it's time to start paying attention! Basketball's March Madness is launching as the conference championships played out. The brackets will be announced tomorrow. Kansas had a good week with three wins, and enters the Tournament ranked #1 in the nation. Rock Chalk, Jayhawks!
Erica was sick most of the week, and stayed home Tuesday through Thursday with tiredness, cold and sore throat. She's limited to singing low notes for now! Eric is preaching this Sunday in PA. His topic is "Isaiah Points to Jesus". He wishes he had an easier topic, but Erica feels he'll do great and tell some deeply emotional story to leave everyone in tears. Eric/A continue their French lessons, and Haaken went along today to check out Saskatoon's delights. He went to a drawing class. Afterwards, they checked out a French bakery called Little Bird Patisserie. There are many interesting shops along 20th Street. They picked up a book call pop sonnets which features pop songs turned into the style of Shakespearean sonnets. They enjoyed reading those on the way home. Liam is in a play at school. They are in rehearsal just now, for a play date in late April. Haaken continues to wait on job possibilities, as well as hoping to hear from Capilano. He is also considering other universities.

Erin has been busy with work, and with helping Shawn move into his new house. The place looks good, and only some minor renos were needed before he moved in. Kristian had Thursday and Friday off school so he spent them with us. He managed to get some homework done, along with a lot of down time and late nights with Grandma! He even scored a new jacket courtesy of one of Grandma's many shopping trips!
Trav, Joanna and crew are managing things back in TBay. Trav's team has completed the regular season, and this week won their first round of the playoffs. Now, it's on to the semi-finals. Otherwise, we not hearing much, so we're assuming it's all good news on the home front.
And that's about it for this week.
