Happy New Year – 2023<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I’m not one for making New Year’s resolutions. Not because I am perfection personified with nothing to improve. Good Lord, not that! In fact, there is a lengthy list of improvements required.

We are in the process of cleaning out our house (because cleaning out mom’s house wasn’t enough fun) and putting it up for sale. Our ultimate destination is 4000 kilometres away in the province of British Colombia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We’ve been talking about this big adventure for a few years but now it is becoming real. Expect lots of ranting here as we experience the joys of a big move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s a bittersweet thing. I’ve lived in this area for 58 years. It is comfortable. But I have wanderlust. It’s time to explore another area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
