Here It Is

It's a cute little '60's-style split level. The colour's weird in this photo because it was taken really quickly with the wrong white balance setting and this is the best correction I could do. Also, you can't see the carport on the right hand side over the driveway, with a little shed behind it. The windows are all brand new and the floors are freshly sanded and varnished hardwood. In fact, they won't be dry yet when I move in tomorrow, so I'll be confined to a small corner of the lower level for a couple of days. It's bright and quiet and there's plenty of room for all our accumulated stuff, even if we don't throw most of it in the garbage as we'd like to. The neighbourhood seems to be mostly families, as opposed to students (something you have to watch out for in Wolfville), and apparently Alex Colville lives right around the corner. I think we're really going to like it.

I'll be going down there tomorrow afternoon with a very limited amount of stuff, as my new job starts the next day. The plan is to have our current place mostly packed up by then. On Friday night Alison and I will both go to Charlottetown, where The Lodge are playing a show as part of the Close to the Coast festival. We'll stay with our friends Joan and Jason, who recently moved there, and come home on Saturday. Then, on Sunday, we'll load up a U-Haul and have our friend Al drive it and us to the new place. Buster will freak out for a couple of days and then love it as much as we do.
