BIG changes......

this picture is from the MLS listing......
  Sometimes you don't know how ready you are for change, until change happens....It's happening now....and I'm ready. My husband and I just bought an acreage on the Slocan River. The 5 acre property is amazingly beautiful. The house is spacious and modern with big windows to let in the river and mountain views. A huge deck stretches across the front of the house and from it we can watch the abundant wildlife and gaze at the mesmerizing river. This stretch of Slocan River is idyllic and calm, and perfect for floating down, in an inner tube, on a hot, sunny, August day. From our small dock we will be able to swim and kayak and throw sticks for a dog. Oh yes, we will be getting another dog..... 
  We hadn't planned on moving. It just happened. A curve ball from the cosmos....an unexpected opportunity,.... The possibility for change confronted our peaceful home. We have lived in our home for 23 years and never really wanted to move. That was until we saw.....our dream home. Yes, it really is our dream home. At almost 6000 square feet, it is six times bigger than the house we now live in. There is room for parties and family reunions. There are big closets. There are two separate studios away from the house. There is a suite for our son to rent from us. There is space.
   We take possession on June 30th. Recharged and ready to go.....

This is all so exciting. We are sure that it will be a great wrench to leave your home of 23 years, but your new house looks and sounds to be idyllic. The perfect situation and the perfect space for you and your family. We wish you much happiness in your new home!!

Wow! This looks and sounds amazing. I think it might be my dream home too. (Maybe I should rent that suite from you!)

Congratulations!

I just love that. I've wanted to move away from the farm for many years now (to be close to the kids and grandkids) and I will have to drag my husband kicking and screaming. That, or move without him. What a wonderful adventure it's going to be. Keep us posted.
