Last week my real estate agent came out to look at my house. As soon as I complete the projects left - uograding the floor in the dining room and living room, minor improvements to the kitchen and downstairs bathroom, upgrading the upstairs bathroom, plus repainting the bedrooms and ceilings - we will list the property, probably in January. Ideally, my house will have found a new owner by June, when I will be heading west.
Last Sunday I took a train to Montreal to look at a small used pick-up, and ended up buying it and driving it home the same day. Am now looking for a buyer for my lovely Mazda 3 with moon roof. My very first truck! It is a beautiful little blue Mazda B-4000, with camper top, roof rack, and trailer hitch so that I can bring my furniture west. I never would have imagined that I would be driving a truck. Next week I am going to a weekend yoga retreat and will try sleeping in it on a futon. And have plans to install some pretty floral curtains to clearly show it is a no macho truck!
My friend Linda is planning to join me on our Canada-wide trip, and we are having fun planning our destinations. We will be taking my canoe to its new home - my son in Calgary - and en route plan to use it to explore some of our beautiful parks, such as Pukaswa on Lake Superior and do some canoe-in camping. We will possibly head south of the border to visit a friend in Ely, Minnesota, and then stay at a couple of farm or ranch B&Bs on the Prairies. Departure date will be May 29th, and our final destination will be Gabriola Island.
Sounds so exciting. I hope you stop in the Prairies to see me.
