August 2011 - Planning Begins!


August 2011

Wow, we really have been working toward this point for a year already!  We sat down and figured out that yes, we really could afford to build now with a bit of equity shifting.  We didn’t want to wait until we were retired to enjoy the peace & quiet at the lake.  Had a great mini-getaway to Quebec City – just Ibby & I – and we dreamed and planned on outdoor patios over many pitchers of sangria.  It was nice to connect together as a couple without whiny texting teenagers!  We bought our first accessory for the new cottage on this trip – a pillow with a hung-over panda which we naturally named Sangria!



Jaime moved from his youth group home of 10 years to an adult facility.  He’s now closer to us in Whitby, but it was a huge change for him – new housemates, new staff, new school.  And of course new routines – for us too!  We spent a lot of time helping him with this life transition, including the mounds of paperwork involved.
