April Fool's day.

Let's see, what is going on? Normally on Saturday morning I go for a walk through our local Wildlife Sanctuary. The Penokean Hills Field Naturalists sponser a Saturday Stroll every Saturday. Today I have to stay home and wait for a construction guy.

I live in a condo apartment. This 12 unit apartment building is two stories at the front and three stories at the rear. It was built in the 1960s to accomodate uranium miners and their families. Last year the condo association tore off the old rotting balconies and put on new ones (YEAH). This year they are replacing the door that leads out to the balcony. The aforementioned construction guy is coming this morning to measure and see what has to be done in my apartment.

I love living in this small town in Northern Ontario. I grew up in a small town near Toronto. That small town was swallowed up by urban sprawl many years ago. Eight years ago after Mum died I had to figure out what to do with the rest of my life. I saw a TV show about Elliot Lake and how this small town in Northern Ontario was trying to attract retirees to fill empty accomodation since the uranium mines had closed and the population had fallen from 30,000 to 11,000. I drove up to look around and ended up buying this 2 bedroom apartment for $22,000. It has worked out great.
