We’ve bought a house…

Finally, Linda and I found one that we both like, in a neighbourhood that we both like. There is even enough space on the driveway to park the trailer. I found it difficult to think about owning again as I love the travelling life.

The house is close to groceries, in a small town, near a big city that is gently expanding and has enough space for all my stuff.

Puck the cat wanted to get packed…or maybe just the cat in the box.

Once back in Owen Sound, we started back to getting in shape. With all the travels we did, including the race in Tucson and we find ourselves with a serious lack of exercise – yes all that hiking – but hardly any running since mid December. 

The Chi-Cheemaun is still in the harbour and looking to get going – I am fairly certain that its crossings start in early May. 

So…the bicycle is out and riding around the trails near Owen Sound.

There is still ice on the sound on Georgian Bay.

Running on the trail…still some snow around, so trail shoes.

We are running along some of the same trails as well. Above is Weavers Falls in Owen Sound at Harrison Park.

Some nice walks. This is Jones Falls.

The swans in Kelso…walking is fun.

The sunsets from our apartment are dramatic.

We managed to squeeze a family gathering in.

A nice drive to Big Bay…the “Stone Skipping Capital of Canada” they say.

Visited Wiarton Willy to have a chat about the snow in mid April….didn’t seem to work.

The Kemble Tea set from the Women’s Institute.

The Armenian Red Robe guy with the big hair making pita bread!

What next?
