Here is the big news…sit down (especially if you are an old friend who really knows me)…I bought a house in this little prairie city called Swift Current. Tada! Here I am! I made a commitment…finally!
It needs Sarah’s touch in the decorating realm. I mighty be knocking out a few walls and putting hardwood throughout. The kitchen needs some work.But I love the location close to the parks and green spaces and swimming pool. The town has a vibrancy uncommon in many small towns. And I can drive to Calgary in 5 hours or Saskatoon in 2 ½ hours…both cities that I love.
And last but certainly not least, I love the sunsets, the sunrises, the freshness of the air, the blackness of the night sky, the slowness of the traffic and the people who want to get to know me. It is my home province and regardless of my straying from the fold, I am home again.
Now, I just have to break the news to Miss Sugar. I don’t know if she is ready to settle down yet. She is a bit of a city gal.
Sounds like a bold move! Good for you. Best wishes,

Nothing like your own nest~ Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteYeah Sarah!!!! You will make it wonderful, I know.
ReplyDeleteMay your new home be blessed and happy and full of good food!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! You'll have to keep us posted on how Miss Sugar adapts!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!!! Good news :) Home sweet home! :) ... some tome in the future I'll have my own home too... :)
ReplyDeleteLooks to me like Miss Sugar is happy right there, because you have a store that has the right stuff: a bag with strings on it!
ReplyDeleteSarah, mon amie, j'espère que tu te plairas dans ta nouvelle maison et que tu t'y sentiras heureuse.
ReplyDeleteTiens-nous au courant de l'avancée de tes travaux et de ton installation.
See soon.
CONGRATULATIONS!!! You're so lucky. I would give anything to have a home of my own.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!! Enjoy your new home!
ReplyDeleteThank you for all your good wishes! The encouragement is good! Last night I had nightmares (weird dream about a snake and maybe it ate Miss Sugar and losing my car in a carwash)! It must be the stress of this big decision...but weird dreams. Tonight I was invited to join a group to go to a hockey game! Surprise to me that this young team (oldes is 20) were from all over - one from Texas and one from Prague, plus all over Canada. They just go where they can join a good team for the love of the game.
ReplyDeleteNothing like sweet home, congrats! I'm so happy for you and enjoy decorating your new home.
ReplyDeleteI have worked with many people from Saskatchewan over the years from Saskatoon to Estevan. I know you all miss your prairie skies.
