Our beautiful new property and home in Rocky promises to be a retirement retreat that we will enjoy for many years to come. We have 3.7 acres backing onto back country and crown land. We are close to the North Saskatchewan River, Crimson and Twin Lakes and half an hour from many other lakes. We are a 45 minute drive from Red Deer where we will be able to find anything that we will need. And BEST of all we are minutes from our son Russ and his gal Miranda. We love it!
Our house in Tsawwassen was listed and put on the market on May 30th.
Syd left for Rocky Mountain House on June 5th. We needed someone to go there and get that house settled and taken care of.
I stayed in Tsawwassen to take care of our home their while we waited for it to sell.
It was the first time in our over 27 years of marriage that Syd and I had been separated for more than a few weeks at a time. It was very hard on both of us.
Syd arrived in Rocky to a garage filled to the rafters with his tools and all of the 'extra' stuff that had been sent to Rocky. He borrowed a bed from Russ and Miranda and used my sewing table as a kitchen table. It was good thing the previous owners had left a couple of lawn chairs because we forgot to send chairs for him.....
The first task was to buy a ride em lawn mower. There is about 3 acres of grass to cut in Rocky! Of course, Russ went along to help pick it out!
Syd was busy and started to lose weight. He had a lot to do to keep up the yard, sort out and put away all of the 'stuff' that had already been shipped. (27,000 pounds)
