Why we're selling our little house...

This house is less than a block away from our current house, but look at how much more room it has! Almost double the square footage. The cool thing about this house is that it was built in 1920, and is full of character. We have big plans to rejuvenate it, starting with removing the chain-link fence. Picture it with: dark blue paint, white trim, a dark red front door with an oval leaded glass window, stone work where the cement blocks are, nicely fenced back yard, stone walkways, gardens, etc. Inside we are hoping the hardwood floors can be restored, walls need to be re-finished, update the kitchen, add a deluxe bathroom on the master bedroom, finish the basement, etc. Basically update or restore as much as we can over time, for as long as we own the house. We'll have much more space to have guests stay with us here too. Our move-in date will be around July 1st, so start planning your vacations at Villa Greek soon!

There's nothing like a Sunny Spring Sunday!

Earlier today, we took a nice walk from our house to the waterfront-pier area. I should have taken the camera with me then, it's so scenic. Next time! Everything is so bright & sunny & springy. Very inspiring and relaxing.

The trees are all sprouting! Yeah! This first picture is of one of our cherry trees. The one Calvin climbed. I'll have to take another picture when they are fully in bloom.


These are sprouts on one of the rose bushes near the front sidewalk.

I can't remember what type of bush this is, but it'll be flowering soon too.

Carman, who is now a strictly outside cat, has his hopes up waiting to come back in the house. No chance, buckaroo. We know the house is yours, you don't have to keep reminding us.

Feta, a.k.a. "needy cheesy" can't be alone, and will let us know if she feels we are neglecting her. But now, the inside of the house is her domain. Just like the inside of the camper is Carman's (and Brendan's)

Speaking of Brendan, he is somewhere between Nebraska and South Carolina right now. They expect to be back here mid-May.

Monday has the itchies again. The Vet said it's most likely allergies, but not sure to what yet. He has to eat white rice and cottage cheese right now, because those foods should not make him itch. BUT, he's still scratching and chewing, so we wait to see what the vet says next.

The Tulips here are all part of the plan to get the house sold. We must be doing something right, we have two standing offers on it. If the first falls through, then the back-up offer takes it.

Our moving date will be July 1st, just like the Ofenboecks (yeah!) who are moving here also.

James is getting more shifts at the Greek restaurant, and saving all his money for school next year. (I'll have to take pictures of their yummy food to keep up with Dan.)

Relaxing At The Lake

This is a Provincial Park just 20 mins from home, which is around the point on the right.

There is also a great campground right here.

Shawn was really looking forward to just relaxing and soaking up the sun.

Monday was one happy little dog!

James added to his collection of unique rocks.

This is our little house, which is currently for sale! Buy it now, and we'll throw in a free lunch. (and maybe even a cat!)
