Well, today was a bit of a sad day, as our agent called to say that the family have decided they do not want to sell their property after all. But, now we know and can move onto something else. And now we know that we are in a position to make an offer should another suitable place become available. So... it would seem the search continues....
Selkirk, Ontario
Today was a very exciting day for us. As some of you may know, we have been looking at cottages in the Selkirk area of Ontario for about a year and a half now. We have seen a few that we liked, but recently we found one that seems to be everything we were hoping to find - a nice private lakefront property, in a specific area, with a modest cottage that we can work on fixing up. Well, after much discussion and contemplation with our agent, today we actually put in an offer of purchase. Because of the the long weekend, and a few other factors, the Sellers have until midnight on Wednesday to consider the offer and advise us of their decision.
Jessica gets ready for her big move...
The time is quickly approaching for Jess to leave home and move into her university dorm. Things are getting busy now, and before we know it she will be off..
Over the past week, several things have fallen into place:
Chancellor's House
Jessica found out that she has been assigned to Chancellor's House. CH is an apartment style dorm on the University Campus. Each student is matched up with 3 others, and they share a 4 bedroom, 2 bathroom apartment suite.
Below is a floor plan of the suite:
Each student has their own private bedroom and share a bathroom with one other student. Each suite has a full eat-in kitchen, and living room area. All rooms come furnished, and the apartments come with a full size fridge and stove for the 4 girls to share. In addition, each building has lounges, study rooms, a full laundry room, and other amenities depending on the individual building. All rooms are equipped with a private phone and Internet hookups, and cable TV is supplied in the living room area. Students are responsible to supply their personal effects such as linens, dishes and small appliances.

In other news this week, Jess also found out that her transfer has been accepted, so not only will she be starting university, but she also has part-time employment @ the Gap in Northgate Square. That's the large, modern mall located nice and close to the campus.
Congratulations Jessica!! Looks like you're all set!!
