Livin' the High Life

It's been a crazy year.  That's obvious from my absence from this blog!  We started renovations on our condo in February and it's been a rollercoaster time.

Myron took on the role of "project manager" and it's a good thing he's retired, because someone needed to be on site every day to make sure that everything got done properly on site, and that we did everything according to the rules of the condo, etc.  The contractor was supposed to do all that, but I actually think Myron enjoyed his role, however stressful it was.

We had two homes to clear out...ours and Marika's in Ottawa.  We had to sort, PITCH, donate, sell, pack up both places, so to say it was a bit overwhelming is an understatement.  Garage sales, numerous trips to Goodwill and Salvation Army and thank God for 1-800-GotJunk!!!

A lovely man bought our home on Friars....not the family with 2.5 children that I thought would buy it. A is 74 and the most interesting character we have ever met.  He loved our home at first sight and the place was sold in days.

We are now living the "high" life and I only say that because we are on the 36th floor and enjoying the view from here.   Do we miss the old house?  No, because we were truly ready for this "Next Chapter" of our lives.  We brought all the memories here with us.  We've already made new memories here.  Home is where we are, not where we live.

Stay tuned!
