News Update

Another week has passed on the shore of Lake Superior in my hometown. The weather started off beautiful and mild, but has turned nasty cold this weekend. It was -35 this morning! Progress is being made on the kitchen renovations. Wendy is working on the painting, while I continue drywall repairs and try to stay ahead of her! I brought in the next sliding door project from the garage, and after sizing up the situation, decided to fir in the doorway a bit. Then, on to the corner bead and mud—a good taper will get that! I got the new LED pots installed in the bulkhead over the kitchen sink—worked out great! I hooked up the new dishwasher and ran it through a cycle—works fine. I have begun my Spanish class; it will be very challenging, but I'm enjoying it so far. The markets have continue to rally despite the chaos in the American administration, and I've had another good week. The curling event this week is the Continental Cup in Las Vegas. It's a bit more of a fun event involving six teams from North America against six teams from the rest of the World. We're used to winning these, but this week the World has the lead going into the final day of competition. In hockey, the Penguins are flying (see what I did there?), while the Leafs are falling (did it again!), and the Oilers have stopped slipping (wow, I'm hot!). My Jayhawks are struggling to find their identity and style post-Doke, and split their games this week. I expect them to fall further in the rankings from their current #7 standing. 

Eric and Erica are hunkering down in chilly Prince Albert. Erica started back to work, on a part-time basis. All seems to be progressing nicely with her recovery. Liam has resumed practice with his hip-hop dance group, and continues to look for work in the Moose Jaw area. Haaken picked up our clothing shipment, and declared it was fine! 

Erin and Kristian are facing the cold in Regina. Kristian had bowling this morning, and the rest of the week was more of the same old routines. He enjoyed receiving the shipment of his new Lego projects, and has them assembled. 

Lego arrives; Lego is built!

Travis and Joanna tried to escape 27° in Punta Cana this morning in order to get back to the -35° we're enjoying!

Trying to escape this!

West Jet cancelled their flight, so their trip home is delayed by a day. We've been ferrying Andrew to his Safety Course this week. Gemma and Andrew were both over for pizza supper this evening. The Keto Pizza was a hit, and the homemade ice cream seemed to slide down well also! Trav & Joanna have been holidaying all week, and have enjoyed it a great deal.

And that's about enough for this week.
