Bought a new home...

We've now been in Buchans for almost 3 months and in a few weeks we will be moving into our new home!!!


A dream come true...when we got here we where looking for a home of our own, to purchase a permanent residence...we are currently renting our sister's house and it's all well and good, but you really don't feel settled, especially when you know your looking to buy. 


So we will be moving only two doors over from where we are now!  Super do not have to rent a moving truck!  A good friend has offered to help and our Grandson will be here at the same time and I'm sure he will help out also.  Most of our stuff never got unpacked so it should be an easy move, not like our first move here, from Ontario to Newfoundland, now that was a big move.


Our home in Ontario was a small house, just one bedroom but had a very large lot.  Our new place is a 3 bedroom house, so lots of room!  Not a big lot, but I look at it this way, not so much grass to cut and snow to shovel.


Still loving it here in Buchans...really looking forward to moving in and making it our own.  


To come, wanting to explore more of this beautiful province, get to see relatives on the coast.  Stay tuned more to come...
