At Home in K-ville!

Well, the house sold in Barrie on the 21st of July, and I moved to K-ville the 24th of July. Alain and I spent a few days at the cottage in St Maurice, waiting for the closing of our new house on the 31st.

We took the canoe to the cottage, and all the camping gear, expecting to do a little trip. But both of us were tired. All the stress of selling the house, leaving the job, saying good bye to my very good friends in Barrie, just rushed up to me in a flood. I had a few good cries. But I do know that this is the path for me right now. It is a new turn, and new river... who knows what will be around the bend. Life is an adventure!

We did take a little day trip into Parc de la Mauricie, just north of Shewinigan. (Jean Chretien's old riding) I didn't see Jean anywhere, but it was quite a town. Almost European the way it was laid out. AT least I think it's European of what I imagine Europe would be.... I have never been to Europe! ha ha! The parc was beautiful, no wind, cool water to swim in, picturesque mountains. WE are going back next year to do a portage trip... it's like Ontario's Algonquin.













On July 31st, we had to also move all of Alain's stuff out of the apartment, and into the house. We didn't ge the keys until 3pm!!! So we moved until 9pm, up and down the stairs, load after load in my little Toyota pick up. We filled the garage with his stuff... and that was just from his 2 bedroom bachelor apartment! I couldn't imagine all my stuff in the garage too!

That night we set up the bed and TV with the DVD, watched a movie and drank champagne. Oh yeah.. he also insisted on carrying me accross the threshhold!! I was afraid he would hurt himself, bust an vein in his forhead or something, break his back! But he survived... we had a good laugh.


We cracked open Julinda's Champagne Bottle on the back deck! Thanks Juls!! I was drunk fast.. I had to close one eye to watch the movie, seeing double and sideways!!

That's how the move was done.... we still had to replace the floors in the bedrooms, so we didn't move any furniture up there. My stuff wouldn't be moved in for another two weeks from storage.






More later!

Good night for now!
