Snapped this shot during the final walk-through. Here's the backyard view from the top of the stairs at our two-storey shed. Big back yard eh? Fire pit, horseshoe pits with horseshoes. Check the Big Ass Flickr Gallery for a few more pics from closing day.
We'd intended to spend much of New Year's Day at the house, but Halifax has been snowed in by a 24-hour blizzard, so ... that'll have to wait!
Today marks a weird spot on the calendar for me. It’s one of those landmarks that really doesn’t mean anything, other than to illustrate the weirdness of time and how we feel it. As of today, my son Gordon has been without his mother longer than he was with her. The length of time Amanda has been gone is now longer than the length of time we were a family of three. Sometimes it doesn’t feel like it’s been that long, but that dangblasted calendar tells me it’s almost three years. I have not said a word about it to G, but tonight, for the first time in a long time, he pulled out the Missing Mummy book for bedtime. Today was my last day in broadcasting for a while, as far as I can tell. I spent the past five years as Program Director at Newstalk 1290 CJBK in London, Ontario. And in recent years, I was also the noon-hour show host, afternoon news anchor, a commercial voice guy, TV news promo voice guy, and more. Also in the past five years, I’ve bought a house, endured renovation
I like the 2 trees springing from Amanda's left shoulder. Like they are doing some kind of slow dance. Pretty!
