Another week has passed, and we are home on the shore of Lake Superior, in my hometown. We began the week in Gravelbourg where I enjoyed leading a musically themed worship program for the congregation. Then, on Monday, we waited, successfully for Kristian's passport to arrive. So, we headed east on Tuesday, driving to Winnipeg and renewing our acquaintance with Dean, Kelly and family. Of course, there was a lot of discussion about Mexico missions, and our recent work there. We completed the trip to TBay on Wednesday. It is good to be home. And Kristian is with us, so that's extra special. On Friday evening, he demonstrated his prowess at firing up the back yard fire pit, and we enjoyed S'mores. Today, we took in a special celebration at Fort William as they put on a dramatization of an American attack on the fort back in 1814.

The markets have been terrible with wild swings reflecting the chaotic activity of Trump. The DOW was down 800 points one day, sigh! I continue to play safely, but even that is subject to losses these days. I am also keeping most of my money out of the market until it becomes more predictable. The young Jays continue to inspire, especially with home run hitting, but they remain far behind their competitors with no particular chance of catching up. The Riders have this week off. The Bombers solidified their first place position with another easy win, and even more so as Calgary lost to Montreal tonight.
Eric and Erica are working on the plans for another surgery in Germany. It would be in mid-December. Wendy is considering going along on this trip. They were hosting Eric's mom and nephew Aiden. They drove up to visit Liam at camp, and also visited Waskesiu. On Sunday, they took Sheena and Aiden down to Davidson, and their next hosts. Erica is dreaming about what the kitchen/dining area will look like!

Meanwhile, they turned their attention to their trip east. That required a dump run to empty the trailer for the bikes. Now, they're in Kenora. We look forward to their arrival here mid-week.
Erin is home alone in Regina. This at least allowed for a date-night with Shawn on Thursday as they went out in an early celebration for her birthday. Kristian sent flowers... good call!

We found Travis, Joanna and Andrew here in TBay. I couldn't even keep track of them last week! Gemma is in England for a family visit and vacation. They had some sad news with the passing of their cockatiel for reasons that are unclear.
And that's about enough for this week.
