"The grass is always greener on the other side!" However, be thankful for what you have; and enjoy the grass on your side!




Absolutely LOVE this photo image! It is so much like where we live! So many beautiful trees; and at this time of year, exquisite! Although the fall is a good companion as well; with all its splendid rich colours.

We just had a friend (actually, our Dentist) over to our "Bohemian" abode; and he was most complimentary of our "museum" antique pieces, that we have "acquired" through our travels; from my Mum and Dad; our own unique funky collectibles; gifts; etc. Our place is just right for the 2 of us and our "puppy", Blue. We are the ONLY townhouse, out of 82 units, that has a granite 16 ft fireplace! We gaze up also at the sky light; that really contributes to an open and yet, invitingly warm, cosy look!

We had introduced Nicky, to our friend, Annette, who is a realtor; and she has earned the worthy reputation of being the realtor who has sold the most units in this complex. She is very knowledgable; and she keeps us abreast of the real estate properties, as they come up for sale. It turns out, that our friend, Nicky, bought his previous 2 homes from Annette. Small world!

Nicky came back to our place, after he went through the "Open House" to view a 4 bedroom townhouse with Annette. He was married last year, and has a baby girl; so they need more space than we do; we have a 2 bedroom townhouse. Could stretch it to 3; but to make the most of the space, we have utilized that special room, as our den! That used to be the dining room, when my parents lived here. We have made a few tids and bits of changes, here and there! - to appreciate it as "ours".

Tidbit - There is no place like home. Be grateful for what you have; does not matter if there is a bigger and better unit etc. Take delight in appreciating the uniqueness and beauty that surrounds you! "The grass is always greener on the other side" - can be true; however, enjoy the grass on your side!

There was another unit last week. that sold within 2 days. It was truly gorgeous - hmmmmmmm.. Great for family and gathering of friends; but what would we do with a larger home? And, we receive lots of sunshine; so there are always pros and cons.

We are going to go with the "pros" and our place is "just right!" - not a tid more, not a bit less!

Another Bittid - The posting pictures are back! Knew things would be "as right as rain", before a tid too long. We are also in for a bit of rain; but then our part of the world is so very green! Much to be thankful for!
