Another week has passed on the shore of Lake Superior in my hometown. The weather has been cold, and we've had a little bit more snow. We're promised melting temperatures over the next few days, so I'm hoping it doesn't bring snow with it! We drove some of the back roads on Sunday afternoon until we found a likely-looking tree, and brought that home with us. Wendy has busily dug out lights and decorations and hung more than the tree can hold! Lots of memories in those items! My fancy $200 compression stockings have arrived, so I struggle into one of them each morning. I've continued work on the mudding downstairs. It's getting close! Wendy has continued with her painting on the main floor. She completed the living room, again, and, put another coat of paint in the office walls. The markets have been whipsawing, and the TSX has returned to red for the month, but I've had another green week, so I feel well blessed. I got out for curling again on Wednesday, and have agreed to play with a team for the month of January on a regular basis. The Olympic Trials ended on Sunday with my guy, Kevin Koe, winning on the men's side, and Rachel Homan winning the women's side, so they'll be our representatives at the Winter Olympics. In hockey, Oilers and Penguins are improving, but there's more needed! Leafs suffered a significant injury, and have been having a tough time while Matthews is out. Jayhawks fell to #13 in the basketball rankings, and didn't look impressive in their win over Nebraska this evening—Rock Chalk boys!

There's only one week until the Baileys have Christmas break! They scored themselves some early Christmas presents as they picked up a new palm sander and also some sand paper for their pole sanders—they surely know how to have a good time! They hope to refinish the floor in the master bedroom this weekend. Of course, with this being the opening weekend for Star Wars, there are competing priorities! Liam is spending the weekend with his Auntie Erin and doing some Christmas shopping. They are looking forward to the break, but still have a week of work to go!

Erin and Kristian have had a good week. Kristian's bowling league had their Christmas party today, so the bowling was just for the fun of it. Kristian scored a nice remote-controlled truck at the Taylor Christmas party last weekend. They keep pretty busy with Christmas preparations.
Trav, Joanna, Gemma and Andrew enjoyed last weekend in Minneapolis, and returned home on Monday. Minnie and Beaker stayed with us while they were away. This week they were hard at work, trying to get as much as possible done in time for Christmas. Gemma and Andrew are closing out their school activities before the break.
And that's about enough for this week.
