Another week has passed on the shore of Lake Superior in my hometown. The first week of April has brought a blast for bad weather, but we have recovered from that, and are now looking forward to proper April weather—we hope! The unseasonable dump began Tuesday night, and continued all day Wednesday. We ventured out around suppertime Wednesday, and challenged the snowblower to clear the slushy stuff away. It was a struggle, but, ultimately, a successful one! The change in weather chased me back from the shop, but I'm looking forward to getting back at in next week. I have two main projects on the go, and a number waiting on the back burner. Wendy completed her business contract and collected her pay for that. She's in final preparation for the chorus trip to Rochester MN, so I'm hearing lots of singing around the house! The markets turned green with the arrival of April, so I had a good week and managed to make quota even though it was only four trading days due to the Good Friday holiday. We have been soliciting estimates for supply and installation of new windows in our house. As part of the upgrade, we're also replacing both the front and side doors, and adding storm doors. I've spent a lot of effort getting our curling team into the playoffs at the Men's World Championships. That was successful, and then they beat Switzerland tonight, so they'll be in the gold medal game tomorrow against Scotland. Hockey has entered the final week with Pens looking for a pair of wins, but still needing some help to make the playoffs. Leafs have secured home ice advantage for their first round series, and Oilers are still challenging for top spot in their division. Blue Jays have begun the season with a 10-game road trip. They're doing okay, but not up to expectations.
Eric and Erica enjoyed participating in a Seder meal on Thursday evening. It was educational and inspiring.
Erin often chats with me about the progress of the Blue Jays—I enjoy that. She and Kristian suffered a late winter storm there and unseasonably cold temperatures as well. They're doing okay, and expecting much better temperatures soon.
Travis and Joanna are doing well. They had us over for an Easter meal last night, and we look forward to another one over here, tomorrow. Andrew has been accepted into the Paramedic program at Confederation College in the Fall. Gemma also had good news as she's advanced to the interview stage for the Mid-Wifery program at UBC.
And that's enough for this week!
