Loving our place but time to go for a while...

We are just loving everything about being in this neighbourhood again and watching all the comings and goings.  Fun seeing the rowers out this morning in the rain and I saw a woman and her dog with matching yellow slickers.  Beautiful sunset last night...a great prelude to having dinner with Richard at the Sylvia.  He was a cheap guest as his company had a big employee appreciation lunch blowout at the Cactus Club.

However,  we have given notice and will move out the end of Feb.  It's been a wonderful adventure and we may still retire here in five years or so.  But we only want one dwelling to deal with so we will have to want to sell the house in Victoria.

Good thing we have this great view because the moving process has begun.  Richard was heading to Victoria this weekend and so we took advantage of that by having him take over all the artwork.  I'm rather enjoying the bare walls because I know I will enjoy seeing the artwork afresh when we return to Victoria.

And we've booked a premium suite at the Coast Plaza and Suites on Denman Aug 1 - Aug 15 so we know we will be able to enjoy summer and swims here.   I don't think we'll lose the feeling of being real locals now rather than tourists in our old home town.
