We've enjoyed another beautiful week on the shore of Lake Superior, in my hometown. The weather has been great, and we've had a few showers to break the heat. We even got by without AC today for the first time in about a month. My friend, also Bill, has taken holidays, so I am running his lawn care business while he's gone. It'll be a couple of weeks this time, but he is also planning a month in Europe in September, so I'll be back in charge then. So, I've been busy grabbing opportunities when the grass is dry, but the temperature is not too hot. The markets were red all week until Friday when great US jobs' data turned everybody green! Our jobs' data was very bad here, but the health of our big friend next door is always more important to our well-being anyway! The Riders continued their losing way, but did put in a good effort for three quarters of the game against Calgary. Durant is back, so we live in hope—pretty typical for Rider fans! The Jays are playing well, and remain in a first place tie with Baltimore. Kristian continues his work on typing, and has completed five lessons this week. Today, he went golfing with us again; that was another good day!
Erica was sick this week, a visit to the doctor confirmed it—she's sick! Liam got some blood work done, but they're still waiting to hear about the results. They tested for Celiac's among other things. Haaken worked on his own at the townhouse. He is packing for his move to Regina. Eric worked 3 days last week, and 4 days this week. It's time for a break before attempting a 5-day week! Erica is scheduled for coursework next week in Calgary, so the family is making an outing of it. They began the trek by heading to Regina and visiting with Erin. Must be an indirect route!
Erin has managed a few medical checks this week. She's been given some trial medicine and a prescription for the same as a defence against migraine headaches. Medical advice concerning her skin breakouts is not so helpful. She'll just have to live with it and use steroidal creams when necessary. Then, she had a failure with her range. The burners continue to work, but the oven seems to be dead. She has now received advice on potential repairs, so we'll see where that goes.
Travis & Joanna have closed the deal, and received their keys to the new house. They are busy moving stuff in, getting set up, and searching for all the necessaries for their own place. Today, they bought a small battery-powered lawn mower for their small lawn. It's basically a whipper-snipper on wheels; I'm looking forward to seeing how it works. Gemma is busy with work most days, while Andrew is usually busy with video games!
And that's about it for this week.
