So Much Has Happened

A whole week has gone by and so much has happened. As you know our house sold. We quickly ran off to Cornwall (where we are moving to) and found another house and bought it. Had the home inspection the next day. Came home to find one of our cat's ill and have spent every day (and night) since at the Vets. Saturday night we were literally all night at the emergency vet hospital. Costing us a mint. But I think now he has renal failure and will have to be put down. It's breaking my heart. Although Mandy is 12 years old. He is not suffering as yet and I hope to keep it that way. Now I know why the kitten showed up last month. She is Mandy's replacement.
Timing is everything as they say and had this happened before the house sold, I never would have been able to cope. Funny how things fall into place.
Anyway we found our dream home, it has everything we wanted and I mean everything. It is in move in condition and most of all it was empty which is enabling us to move in so soon. We did not want to be moving such a long distance once winter approaches. Since we are moving further north they have real winter in that part of Ontario and not pretend winter like we have in Southern Ontario. We don't get snow here until January (usually) and I have lamented many atime for not having a white xmas. I'm sure it will be white this year.
I will have a wonderful huge basement for Dolton. And it is big enough (300 sq feet more than here) that I can house all the Doltonites together. No more Dolton Heights. And I have a bedroom upstairs (ground floor - it's a bungalow) where I will have a gallery for my cabinet dolls. I can't believe how fortunate we were to have found this place. It was 6th on list out of 9 houses to view. We only looked at 7 because one got sold and the other one we just weren't interested in. Again we are in an older established neighbourhood and I can walk to the grocery store and bank etc. just like I can here. It's maybe a couple of blocks farther but will be good for me.
So between running to the bank, taking the cat to the vet and just running around in general as you can imagine I have been quite busy.
Still.....I have found the time to buy a few more dolls. Victoria (from Twilight) arrived this week and James (also from Twilight) will be arriving next week. I will buy the Barbie sized versions of Victoria and Alice Cullen. Too bad Mattel isn't making James and Laurent! For sure they would move to Dolton LOL
So I'm off to run more errands and maybe I will find time to buy a few groceries. We have been eating out so much I forget how to cook LOL
Catch you later.
