Condo has been Sold

I apologize to my Reader Friends that I caused some confusion reference a recent post. I buggered up the Links and so had to delete the post.

Yes finally, We sold our Condo. We have to wait until the 28th of November before we could really count our chickens. That is the final dates of pull out for Financing or Legal problems etc.

We were asking for 219,00 and we got an offer of 210,00. Considering the economy we didn't do too bad.

We actual close on the 22nd. of January. We have booked an Apartment at at Place called the Harbour Shore Acres here in Dartmouth. It is half the size of what we have now so we are down sizing our stuff.

Tomorrow will be our first winter storm of over a foot of snow falling. I think we put stuff in an Auction tomorrow so we will only get pennies for our treasures as no one will go out and those there will benefit from no one to bid against them. Hey they have changed the date to Sunday instead so cool. But everyone will still have to dig themselves out of the snow to get there, Oh well at least it would have stopped by then.

I will put a link to the rentals should anyone be interested to check it out. We will be on a month to month lease so we can still look for places to live and wait until we see something we really want to have.

Ginny works right next door so how cool is that and we get a DND discount on top of things. She figures as she is next door that she will be late for work everyday now. On the slide show I am showing pictures of Dartmouth NS where we live .

What not to say to a Mother-in-Law

Picture of what my Ex. Mother-in-Law looked like to me. She is the one on the left. I had more hair in those days and my voice hadn't broken yet.


Form of transportation offered to my Mother-in-Law on her visit to Ottawa.


How I imagined her Traveling to and from England to Canada. It is not very far from the truth. "Ok, it is sorry (Mermaid)."


Many years ago in a Galaxy far, far and far away . Actually it was in Bell's Corners, just outside of Ottawa, Ontario. Lived a family in crisis as the scary Mother-in-Law was coming over from England to visit. And give us the benefit her so called wisdom handed down to her from generations before. Mermaids Gran. was the 7th child of a 7th Child and she considered herself a Hedge Witch. Read tea leaves, made potions and generally scared the day lights out of me and everyone around her.

All I can remember of that Fateful visit to us. My Daughter (Mermaid) was only about 1 year at the most. Life at "chez nous" was very rocky and a mini-war raged day and night anyways. It was either before or just after my ex. Mother-in-law arrived.

I got a old corn broom and put it on her bed and tied a note to it.

The note went something like this. " Mum, this will save on your bus fares in and around Ottawa. We are on a direct flight path to the Airport should you want to fly there anytime."

The Mermaid's mother had no idea that I did this. So It did not go over too well. But on the upside someone's Mother refused to speak to me at all for the two weeks she was there. Did I get cursed by my ex's mum. Probably; after all I did marry her Daughter. :))
