Bittersweet times

I hope you are all enjoying a nice Sunday. The weather in Huntsville is beautiful and very warm. More of the same is forecasted for the rest of the week.

Well, the past few weeks have been busy for Russell and I.  For all the right reasons, we have decided to sell our home.  The "For Sale" sign went up yesterday.  It is hard to predict how long it will take to sell but we are not in a big rush.  It will be when it will be.  Life is a journey and our next journey will take us to Cobourg when the time comes. It is with mixed emotions that we have come to this decision but we know that this is the right move for us, for the long term.  Bittersweet moments for sure.

This past week was crazy busy as we had to get the ball rolling for the house but also because we went to Toronto and Cobourg.  We had a great time in Toronto and celebrated my birthday in style.  Japanese for lunch at Ki, and dinner at Sassafraz.  Friday morning, we drove to Cobourg and had lunch with old friends of ours.  They have been living in Cobourg for 15 years now so it was good to get the ins and outs of the town.  It was especially nice to see them and reminisce about the good old days. We also met with a realtor just to get a feel for the neighbourhoods.  This gave us a really good sense as to where we will buy when we're ready.

We came home yesterday, after picking up the Coop.  He has no idea that we are selling our home.....I wonder what his next kingdom will look like.

That's about it for this week's blog.  For us, it is "business as usual" until we sell our house. We will continue to enjoy our beautiful home and its surroundings.  On that note, a bear was spotted in John & Terri's backyard last Thursday.  I include a picture that they took of the little creature.

I also include an aerial picture that was taken of our house last week, the view from up above.  I thought it was fitting to include that picture as today would have been Russell's Dad's birthday.  No doubt that he is celebrating with Mom while watching over us from up above.

I wish you all a great week, which for many will lead to the Civic holiday long weekend.  Wow, August is just around the corner.  Unreal!

Nothing better than soft serve ice cream on a hot day in TO.
