A Visit From the Cardinal |
However, the reason for my post - This House 'o Mine. I've lived in many houses especially in my growing up years. By the time I reached grade 8, I had moved about 12 times. So, moving wasn't new. But, as I sit here watching the birds that visit the feeder, I can't help but think of the major life changes that happened while living here at Grouse Glen.
When I moved into this house, I was working at Emma King as a VP, my son was living with me and my daughter in my previous house a few blocks away.
So about those major life changes?
- Caleb, my grand son started school
- Caleb started high school
- My son moved out west
- I became an 'mt'-nest'er
- Ryan had his first child, Emma, and moved back to Barrie.
- Soon after he moved back to Barrie, he moved home for a bit.
- My son wiped out a car
- He met his current wife Shannon and went on to have 3 more children, Charlie, Daisy and Van while in my duplex
- My grandson Van, was born with a debilitating diagnosis - Lisencephaly. Rather devastating.
- I became a principal
- I lost my mom :-( I will forever struggle with this, as I continue to struggle with losing my G'ma Pubba so many years ago
- I retired.
- My first grand daughter has been alienated from family functions.
- Since the loss of my mother, the family functions have changed and will never be the same again.
- I winter in MB, perhaps my escape?
So .............as the cardinal looked in at me today, I was reminded of all the events that occurred while living here at Grouse Glen. As I write this, I contemplate another move in the not too distant future. But as I said, contemplate. Although the idea of a condo appeals to me - I'm not completely convinced yet. Hence, I will keep the positive energy flowing and welcome happy changes here at Grouse.
