What a difference a year makes. We got the keys to our new house in St.Georges, Manitoba. Today was Leslie's first time seeing the yard, which had been hidden by the snow on prior visits. She's always wanted a fountain, now she has two. The yard is pretty much a park. I took a few photos, and wouldn't you know it, my camera battery died before I got to the front yard. That's okay, we'll be going back tomorrow. We have the entire month to relocate. Tick-tock, the time will go by fast. I'm keeping a journal, which will most likely become a satirical look at the area and its residents both real and imagined. St. Georges is a French community, the perfect setting for Jean Dough, one of my imagined serial blog heroes. E will love it dare! The people that we bought the house from left us a bottle of wine, two wine glasses, and a lovely note which said. 'We hope you enjoy your home up on the rock as much as we have for the past twenty-five years.' I don't mean to brag, but I felt like we won the real estate lottery today. Don't get me wrong, we loved our place in the woods by the lake, but so does everybody else, and the community has become very busy. We thought we would like to move someplace a little quieter and we did. How quiet is our new location? Our neighbor is, get this, the local public library. I'm not kidding, at the end of our driveway is the Allard Regional Library. Shhhhhh We agreed that the couple could leave behind items they had no use for. Leslie wasn't keen about this, but I insisted it was okay, because I had my eye on a certain area of a large shed, hoping this would be what they might leave behind... and they did! So now I have a shed full of Garden Gnomes. Leslie hates them, haha! Wait until Clown Boy and Mr. Monkey meet the Gnomes. Hold my beer! When things get back to normal, I won't even remember what normal is. I'll leave you some photos and links. Come sign up for the Mystery Blog Challenge in the Banana Bar if you haven't already.
