There was a very different post intended for today, but things don’t always go the way we plan, and sometimes the world feels the need to make sure you can truly appreciate the good times.
Flicker’s Lair BlogArchive for the ‘Everyday Life’ CategoryTo really appreciate the good times …August 31st, 2010 by HeidiA Taste of ManotickAugust 20th, 2010 by HeidiTomorrow – Saturday 21st August – come and experience all “the flavours” Manotick has to offer. EncouragementAugust 6th, 2010 by HeidiAs you may have noticed I have somewhat lost my blogging spirit, and of late posts have been few and far between. I think the problem is that I started treating the blog, and feeling, as if it was work, rather than fun. High Noon!July 20th, 2010 by HeidiMeet us at High Noon tomorrow at 2-5556 Manotick Main Street, when the doors of the Manotick Village Butcher open for the first time! Calling MulligansJuly 17th, 2010 by HeidiThere was a term I heard from time to time on the golf course that I would like to apply to today – Mulligans – it is when everybody has a bad first shot and you all start again and pretend it didn’t happen! Home-made liver treatsJuly 9th, 2010 by HeidiThere are some pretty cool perks to working for a butcher’s shop, one of them being the tasty things to eat we get to enjoy, and share. And right now Charlie thinks I have the best job in the whole world! Grouse and berriesJuly 8th, 2010 by HeidiDoesn’t that sound good! And the berries were, but the grouse was only to be captured with a camera. We both needed a break so decided to blow out the cobwebs with a nice bicycle ride around the block – the block is about 8 miles but is pretty much square and so I think counts as a ‘block’! A chapter ends …June 30th, 2010 by HeidiIt may seem crazy to have moved three times in the space of four years, but each move was a necessary step to lead us to where we are, and while I wish we hadn’t spent quite so much in Realtor fees, I cannot regret the outcome. Cuckoo’s nest road!June 20th, 2010 by HeidiIt was quite the weekend and right now our house looks rather like a furniture shop exploded and was then attacked by a giant shedding ball of fur! But luckily for us we have friends. The weekend was supposed to be all about moving furniture, Steve hired a U-Haul truck, found some volunteers and set about moving all the remaining large things from old house to new. SOLD!June 15th, 2010 by HeidiI would like to share the most wonderful news with you … our old house is SOLD!
I don’t think that even in our wildest imaginings we thought it would happen so quickly, but it is such a relief. We had the offer last week, which of course was followed by some negotiations, but we wanted to wait until today when all conditions were met and it was official before we said anything. Tomorrow I will worry about planning moving the rest of our large furniture, lawn tractor etc, today I am just too excited to concentrate! Better than a honeypot & burst balloon!June 14th, 2010 by HeidiI had a birthday and just like Eeyore I got two presents, well OK so not really like Eeyore as I got more than two presents, but one of them was held up by ‘snail mail’ and the other required a visit to Canadian Tire so they were a little delayed. |
