Sold our Home of 33 Years

Yesterday, just four days after listing, we sold our home of over 33 years.  We expect to move to our Kerrisdale condo in June. Many, many wonderful memories of our life here: summer barbecues, our family enjoying the swimming pool and garden, parties to celebrate engagements, weddings and special birthdays. Plus all the redecorating, renovating and upgrading we did to make this our perfect home.

But we are getting older and it is time to move to another phase of our life, a more carefree one. Here are pictures of us putting up the "sold" sign.

Cheryl, our wonderful agent, who made this happen for us.

 

 

 

Dylan studying and socializing in Ottawa

Our nephew, Dylan, is studying at the University of Ottawa this year and is learning lots about political life.  Yesterday morning  he was in Parliament:

and in the evening he attended an event at the Russian Embassy.  Here is a picture of him with a special guest, former PM Jean Chretien, who just celebrated his 80th birthday:

Life is sure different for university students now than it was in my day!

New Year's Day Dinner

Had a great dinner tonight at Linda's home, with all the family there.  Linda ordered Chinese food which Ken picked up from the Peaceful Chinese Restaurant on West 4th Avenue, including their  noodles, Hot & Sour Soup, and several chicken and beef dishes, and their famous Beef Rolls (picture below).  Very good.

 

Great to have all the nephews together before Sam leaves tomorrow to go back to Oxford, Teddy goes back to engineering at UBC and Chris goes back to work with his Dad. Here they are:
