This is a whole new start now and hopefully everything else will follow. Hope Terry gets sorted soon and the schools are cooperating. Keeping you in my prayers until it all gets sorted! We are getting a new furnace today as the one we have now has been giving off CO2! I hope that is the answer to Elsie's headaches and nausea and they too will go away. |

We have managed to finally sell our former home and will be closing on March 10 (it's been on the market since late September) and at a reasonably good price. Though we absolutely love the place where we are living now, there is a sense of nostalgia for the other house since the kids grew up there. Also, Shirley had to give up her large and incredibly beautiful English garden that she so carefully planted and tended for many years--ah well. We have met the purchaser and she asked Shirley if she would be willing in the late Spring to show her how to tend the garden and identify the plants for her. Cathy: Glad to hear that you are getting your new furnace--carbon monoxide is so potentially deadly! I'll bet the headaches and nausea disappear right away! |

I am hoping it all improves. Sure is hard to leave a garden that you have worked so hard on. Hope she can find joy in the fact that others will also enjoy it and make them happy looking at it's cheerfulness. |

The soil at the old house was heavy clay that held water like a sponge. The soil at the new house is very sandy and a bit too well drained for a decent garden. I would imagine that new planting will commence this Spring, but hostas are out because the deer around here are voracious eaters--and hostas are their version filet mignon! Its not unusual for 6 to 10 deer at a time to come browsing in our yard, day and night. I also suspect that we might have to truck in some better topsoil in certain parts of the yard. |

You and your family deserve to have a home with some peace and tranquility (as much as one can have with small boys in the house, that is!). Best of luck to you in your new home. |

Thanks Peggy - the 'pains' are 'next door but one' just in case my next door neighbour reads it - LOL! It certainly has been a long wait! There was a broadband connection there Ron before they got cut off - the house was repossessed so there are no utilities at the moment! Thank you all for your good wishes - we will probably be moving at the end of March - we need to get some work done on the house first. It is very exciting!
