a milestone day

It has been a hectic month for us.
We sold a home that we had lived in for 35 years. 
It has been on the market for 3 years.


I think the reality of this process taking so long
lightened the emotional toll a bit. 
Friday was a bitter sweet day but we are ready to move on.


Our daughter summed up our feelings so well

“Congratulations!
A new family gets the beautiful house, but we get to keep the beautiful memories.  Tonight, we'll raise a glass to: babies home from the hospital, first steps, birthday parties, first day of school pictures, Thanksgivings with all the cousins, Christmas decorations, busy mornings before school, dinner with the boys on the bench, thousands of sleepovers, WoW gatherings, graduation parties, home-from-college visits, jet-lagged grandbabies, pool days, picnic parties, long porch sits, & so many more.


We couldn't have asked for a better home.”

mountains

When you live just south of 
Lake Ontario things are pretty flat
so sometimes I pretend the 
marine layer clouds are mountains
