New House

Sorry I haven't updated the blog in awhile. There hasn't been much to write about. We've been taking it easy since Christmas. Much of our time and energy has been focused on Canada actually. We bought a house in St. John's with Lori's parents. The idea was to find a place that Wayne and Lorraine could live in now and it would eventually become our place when Lori retires.

Lori is taking a two month sabbatical this summer and we had planned on buying the house then. However, when we were in St. John's in December, we found a place that everyone liked and put an offer on it. After a few hiccups and bumps along the road, we ended up buying it. We take possession on February 21, so once again I'll be on a plane flying across the Atlantic Ocean. I'll be there for the closing and to help Lori's parents sell their place and move into the new house.

Initially we wanted to be right on the ocean, but Lori's parents were not keen on that idea so we settled with an ocean view. It's not a spectacular view, but the house is very nice and it works well for all four of us. Lori and I will live in the fully finished basement when we are in town. We even have our own driveway and separate entrance.
