It's a Jungle out there...

On June 14th we got the keys to our new home.  We made our way there prepared to face whatever the previous owner/renter had left behind.  Suprisingly we were greeted with an empty garage, house and shed...only the smell of pets and cigarette smoke remained.  What we weren't ready for was the jungle in the backyard, seriously overgrown. Mom and Dad have their work cut out for them.   Dave carried me over the threshold, so romantic, then we had champagne and cupcakes and then he installed a brand new toilet...even more romatic!  I swept the house out with a new broom which I learned is an Italian tradition meant to sweep away all the negative energy from the home.  Its too bad it couldn't sweep away the stink!   Lots of work ahead...stay tuned!

You say good-bye, I say hello....

We're a week away from leaving our row townhouse house in the east end for a detached fixer-upper in Etobicoke.  Good-bye Danforth, streetcars and shared walls.  Hello Long Branch, Go-train and detached living!  I know Dave will turn our war-time bungalow into a beautiful home.  It's going to be an adventure! 

Time to say good-bye

Our new home! So much to do...
