News Update

Another week has passed on the shore of Lake Superior in my hometown. The weather has been dry-wet-dry-wet... all week. Today was sunny and dry, and I was able to get the lawn cut, and practice some golf. We've accumulated a lot of rain this summer, and the Lake is much above normal levels. Wendy has done some experimenting with keto tortillas, and has succeeded in producing some good ones that she then turned into taco bowls, so we enjoyed taco salad a couple of times this week.

Very Yummy!

Last week, I had built a fire in the fire pit, but when we finally got around to having a fire tonight, it was well-soaked, so it took a while to get going. We eventually were able to enjoy supper out on the deck including brats roasted over the fire. I've been working on the crown moulding in the kitchen. We thought we were short of material, but Wendy found a 7' length that had been hiding, and we've made it. I never done crown moulding before, and I have to admit it looks sharp.

Finishing Touch!

Wendy has resumed her barber shop singing with the Sweet Adelines. She took an appointment with her chiropractor on Friday. On Friday evening, we had a meeting with a pilot who is looking for a place to stay while in Thunder Bay. I'm still waiting for the notification of my appointment in Toronto for surgery on my eye. The markets have alternated red-green with the weather! Unfortunately, there were three red days, and I ended up red for the week, sigh! The Jays are down to their final games of the season. They are sitting with 91 losses and trying to avoid the ignominy of a 100-loss season. The Riders hosted Montreal this evening and managed a last minute field goal to escape with the victory.

Eric and Erica are trying to wrap up a few things before they leave next week for a trip to the Netherlands. This included some work on the porch so they could get a coat of primer on and seal the freshly exposed wood.

Railing, Columns are Primed

Liam is back to work at the Tunnels of Moose Jaw and practising with the new RU members who are learning their moves. On the medical front, he has now concluded all his Hepatitis shots and can go back to the specialist for some new medication that will hopefully help him feel better. Haaken has has two weeks of work now and is enjoying it. He also finished an animation project and the customer reports they are happy with his work. He’s hoping this might lead to more animation work.

Kristian had his first evening of bowling on Sunday. It seems they're bowling four games each session this year. He seemed to run out of gas, as his fourth game was not up to expectations. He is enjoying his second weekend of birthday celebrations; I thought it was only we old folks that celebrated so long! There are rumours of a third celebration being planned for next weekend.

B-Day2, with Omarion,
Cake saved for B-Day3!

Kristian had an appointment with an ENT specialist this week; he is being referred to a surgeon in Saskatoon so they can start learning about the process for a cochlear implant.

Travis and Joanna keep busy. We enjoy having them here regularly. There seem to be a lot of orders in advance of the hockey season. Joanna got new tires on her car this week. Gemma and Andrew are through the introduction to their new classes.

And that's about it for this week.
