My third favourite four letter word!

My third favourite four letter word is "SOLD"!  Of course my top favourite four letter words are "BEER" and "MEAT".  And after a whirlwind of upset stomachs, sleepless nights and flatulence the house as of this moment is finally sold.  My fourth favourite four letter is "DUCK" but that bears no relevance to this blog post.

My least favourite people used to be clowns, but after this experience I now realize that Home Inspectors are the bane of my existence.  Of course when we bought the house we hired a guy who had the skills of a doorknob, and when we sold the home the buyers hired someone who makes Mike Holmes curl up in a ball in the corner.  But with the passage of time and emptying of wallets, we are finally ready to spin the Twister spinner and see which body part must be placed on what colour circle.

So with the sale of our domestic abode, we are another step closer to finally realizing our dream of moving to Yellowknife.  My dream of meeting the entire cast of the 80's hit comedy "Facts Of Life" will have to wait another day (please stay alive Mrs. Garrett).

Our realtor Aaron Pauze of Royal Lepage here in Midland was fabulous throughout the whole process, so if you ever have something to sell of the house variety we definitely would recommend him to others.

So tomorrow morning the love of my life (not bacon) but Melanie flies up to Yellowknife to begin her new job on Monday morning.  With any luck she will be able to find somewhere to shelter the rest of us hooligans in the not too distant future.  The closing date of the house is the middle of September so she will keep busy finding our next Shangri La.

Until then Gabby, Maya and I will continue on our adventures along Georgian Bay, counting down the days until our new adventure begins and hopefully we don't run out of fingers and toes in the process.
