Another week has passed on the shore of Lake Superior in my hometown. The weather has remained cool and wet with only a couple of days reaching toward 20°. We've had our first frost now, so the trees are in glorious fall colours. I got out to the golf course once. We're into October, so the courses will be closing here sometime this month. I started the week watching the Ryder Cup Matchplay golf—always one of my favourite events. This year it was in Paris, and provided some fun drama as usual, although the Europeans won handily. I also enjoy the Presidents Cup in the alternating years, although the World side has failed to make it competitive. We got news yesterday that our new cupboards were ready to be picked up, so we've borrowed a trailer and managed to get them all moved in today. We had showers yesterday, so we're glad to find the dry weather today to get them transferred.

Wendy has been painting, but I still have walls under repair, so we're not quite ready! She has also been doing some yard work, cutting in the lawn along the driveway, and clearing up some branches that fell out of our big oak tree. The tree fought back—as she tried to break up the branches, one came up and smoked her in the side of the head! It still hurts some days later, and she notices it when she chews as well! The markets turned sour this week. The pundits are saying the issue is the Trump deficits. Their concern was triggered by his new tax cuts that were rushed through under cover of the Kavanaugh hearings. Since the administration is showing no inclination to pay for its expenditures, there is pressure on bonds and investors are moving out of stocks. Sigh! The early games of the NHL season have been good to watch, but my Oilers, Pens, and Leafs are not putting up the results I want! The Riders play Edmonton in the Thanksgiving game on Monday. The baseball playoffs have begun; I'm cheering for the Yankees, but they're in tough against the top seed Boston Red Sox.
Erica had her surgery in Germany, but has suffered a setback during the recovery process. She has experienced fluid buildup in her left leg, and her doctors have kept her there for an additional week. So, she's not home for Thanksgiving weekend. Greg remains there with her, and Eric has reworked the flight schedule. Yikes! Things don't always go as planned. She is now scheduled to fly next Friday.
Erin and Kristian have been suffering ill health this week. Kristian was home sick a couple of days, and then Erin caught it, so she missed work as well. We trust they're on the road to recovery now. Kristian bowled his league games this morning. He wasn't quite hitting his spots, so he didn't score up to his expectations, but he continues to raise his average.
Travis has continued to be very busy developing and printing bucket decals. His contacts continue to spread via word-of-mouth and other advertising. He gets a lot of work from southern Ontario, and this week produced work for St. Louis and Arkansas teams as well.

And that's about it for this week.
