The Tide Turns

It has been awhile since I wrote in my blog. Our Tsawwassen house sold in January and completed in March. It went for a lot less than we had originally anticipated however we are in better shape than others and at least the bleeding is stopped. We are glad to be out of the situation and getting on with the rest of our lives.

One chapter over and another begins…

All is going well in Rocky Mountain House. We have been making the changes in our house that is making it our ‘home’ and Syd has been working on building his new workshop.

Winter was not nearly as bad as we had anticipated however it lasted longer than we would have liked. I suppose that as soon as the novelty of ‘snow’ wears off we will not be so enamored of the seasons. We plan on spacing out our Mexico visits so that we can break up the winter a little better in the future.

I am thoroughly enjoying my job at ATB Financial. It is a great company to work for and staff at the Rocky branch are a tremendous group of people who work hard and are passionate about their community. I am meeting a lot of the business people who ‘make Rocky tick’ and learning about the economic engine that supports the town and surrounding area.

Syd gave a couple of Wood Turning courses in the winter and has registered for a table at the Christmas Arts and Crafts fair here at the end of November. So he needs to get his workshop completed so he can create some inventory!

So all is going well and life is settling into a new routine in our new home.
