Another week has passed and we have returned to the shore of Lake Superior, however, we're in Duluth MN. We are still a fair distance from my hometown, however we are not far from Lake Wobegon, where the women are strong, the men are handsome, and all the children are above average! Wendy's dad continues to be in hospital. He has clearly been making progress with his rehab. He got his staples out this week as well, and the healing seems to be going well. However, some other health issues remain, and the doctors keep working on solutions. We hope they get some progress in those areas as well. It has been another full week. We enjoyed a fulsome family experience on Sunday including lots of eating and a family worship period. Most of the family then dispersed, but some of us remained for a couple more days. Tom, Viggo, Jonathan, Jennifer and I got out golfing on Monday at Waterview. That was fun, and my score of 87 is pretty reflective of my game these days. On Tuesday, Viggo arranged for a new windshield on the Sorento. Then, we packed up and headed north. We spent the rest of the week in Lawrence with Aunt Helen and Cousin Marti. I began a new experience which I am not enjoying—Oak Leaf Mites! Those nasty little guys attacked my neck leaving itchy welts, yikes! A Colorado Clipper brought the first winter storm (Argos, it's called Argos! They have names for winter storms now!) across our path and slowed our travel plans, so we didn't get away until this morning. We drove up to Duluth, running into snow just north of Minneapolis. Apparently, there is more snow awaiting us in TBay. We hope to complete the drive tomorrow. I managed another round of golf in Lawrence with Larry. That went pretty well also although I only hit one fairway! The markets continue to be volatile, but I had a great week, and am now on quota for the month. I haven't been keeping track of sports much while we've travelling. The Oilers are tied for first place in their division; the Penguins are one point out of first in their division. Both of my picks prevailed in the CFL semi-finals. I'm picking Calgary and Edmonton to win the division finals and set up an all-Alberta Grey Cup game.
Eric/A and Liam made the drive-through trip to get to the family reunion last week. Then, starting Sunday afternoon, the returned home via another drive-through! A couple of long hauls there. I'm sure they're needing some extra rest this week. Liam is back at school, of course. Haaken continues with his university work in Regina.
We were able to have a communal FaceTime chat with Erin and Kristian while we were at the reunion. It was good to visit with them.
We used FaceTime to visit with Trav & Joanna as well. They keep busy with their work, but were not so pleased with the arrival of snow! We look forward to seeing them tomorrow. Trav's team prevailed to win their home tournament last weekend. Congrats all around!
And that's about enough for this week.
