Another week has passed and we remain on the shore of Lake Wascana, in the middle of the prairies. The weather has switched to very mild, with temperatures above freezing, and even pushing +7 today! We have had another good week here with dad in Regina. Wendy has joined me in the drywalling; she has repainted the ceiling in the entry and begun priming of the other drywall repairs. Unfortunately, last night she found a crack we had been overlooking, so I was back to the repairs this morning. I still have some small electrical jobs to clean up as well. On the long weekend, the Baileys were here, so I was able to pass along the three-legged sawhorses I had built for them. The markets have veered wildly to the downside toward the end of this week as the fears of the coronavirus and the realities of the economic downturn in the USA caused a sell-off! It was another losing week for me as I looked for ways to buy back in, but failed to find any. All my teams are currently in playoff position in the NHL, but all are also precarious. It's the trade deadline time, and all contenders and pretenders are looking to make deals. A big week for my Jayhawks as they won both games and today went into Waco and took down the #1 team! Rock Chalk boys! But the main attention of my week has been the Scotties Tournament of Hearts. All of my teams made the Championship Pool, and two advanced to the medal round. However, McCarville lost to Homan this afternoon, so, it's just my betting favourite Einarson left in the championship game tomorrow.
The Bailey's including Liam were here over the long weekend, so we enjoyed catching up with them. Now, Eric/A are back in PA, and Liam is in Moose Jaw. Eric enjoyed watching his Canucks take down the #1 Bruins this evening! We enjoyed it here in Regina as well.
We're enjoying getting to spend a bit of time with Kristian this week as he's having Spring Break from school. Erin has also been over for a few meals, and Shaw and Liam joined us for our standard Uncle Dave Pizza night yesterday. Western Pizza is incomparable, and we really enjoyed that. Kristian has taken lessons and received the equipment for making chocolates. He enjoys making them, and eating them! Tonight, Kristian served as the quiz master and we enjoyed a game of trivia.
Travis and Joanna are keeping busy and managing things back in TBay. I have managed to chat him through a few hockey games as we're enjoying his connections to get the Leaf games that are blacked out here. The Leafs and Pens played twice this week, so that was a bit extra special.
And that's about enough for this week.
