Busy Bees

We have been busy bees the past two weekends fixing up Mom's place as it went on the Market Thursday.  She gets possession of her condo in two weeks time so at this stage it is just window dressing with purging here and there.  We have cleaned carpets, done numerous dump runs, several Salvation Army drops, painted her bedroom, porch and deck.  Every room in her home has been touched.  She now has to live like that until it sells - the tough part of selling your home.

Hubby has to fly away this weekend for business so I plan on travelling to her house and cooking her a nice meal for Mothers Day.  Her gift (which she knows about already) is not more stuff.  I found a great deal on Travelzoo for a wildlife viewing tour that the three of us will go on in early July for the day.  It was 60% off per person and we get to spend the day on the Ocean together doing the tourist in your own back yard thing.  If you enjoy travelling and haven't checked out Travelzoo you should do so as they email you both local deals and International ones (*this is not a paid review, I just discovered them and wanted to share).

We have had some glorious weather the past few days with pure sunshine and 26 degrees celcius. There have been walks on the beach, hot tub time, and I have finished reading two books this week on the backyard patio.  When working I love the fact that I can take coffee breaks in the backyard and watch the birds for a few minutes before getting back to it.  Our home has really become everything we envisioned it to be when we bought it - so happy we made the right choice.

Cheers!
