December 2nd 2010;
I write this up date on Canadian Route 401 heading East toward Detroit MI. Our goings on for the last month are as follows.
House hunting saga continues: leaving the eastern shore of NC, traveling north through, VA, Maryland, West VA, Del Pennsylvania and Connecticut. House hunting the whole way, realtor’s, many home showings, long hours in the car, hotels and on the internet.
We left Stephen and Christies (Steve’s eldest son and his family) after a short visit and arriving in Canton Ct. at Laura’s (Steve’s eldest daughter and family) the 19th of November. We celebrated Laura’s birthday and had a wonderful Thanksgiving, Erich (Steve’s youngest son from LA) and Rosalie (Erich’s girlfriend from Chicago) stopped in for a visit as well.
We watched several hockey games staring, Sam and Ben, Laura and Jeff’s boys, looked at many properties and fell in love with two of them. We may place a bid on one of them later this month, if we decide we want to commit to months of snow and cold for our landlubber life.
Having had a nice visit with one of Steve’s classmates and dear friends in Toronto, Steve Otto. An avid historian who shared his love of Toronto with us as we toured his beautiful city.
A brief stop in Toledo to check on a dear loved one and then back to Sandusky, Ohio. I will stay on with my family and Steve will travel to see his family. It has been 5 years since my last Christmas with my family I am really looking fwd to this time.
In conclusion of this segment of the house-hunting saga: Connecticut is diffidently on the list, Leesburg/Shepardstown VA(??) and still an old favorite being the western end of NC, the Asheville area. So time will tell as we realize our dream, we’ll keep you posted.
