Thanksgiving: so much to be thankful for

This weekend has been particularly positive. Laura and I had a great Saturday together testing cars: Nissan Cube and Volkswagen Tiguan. The Cube is a great deal of fun to drive. The seats are really the weakest link. Every time I went around a corner, my whole body started sliding on the seat. This is a big draw back for me, but I love the versatility of the car. It has more then ample room for 4 adults, not a great deal of storage if you've got a full passenger load, but we usually only travel with the 3 of us anyways. I only wish they would allow the consumer the ability to upgrade not only the electronics, but also the interior. They would get a much broader audience.

After this we went off to see "Fame", which had some good tunes, but the dialogue and character development was extremely week. The TV show wasn't amazing, but it was like this movie, entertaining.

Sunday was very successful. Had a great breakfast of soft boiled eggs, bacon, and whole wheat toast while watching what must be my favorite program: Sunday Morning on CBS. Then it was off to prepare for my Open House, and lunch with my buddy Joe. The Open House was a great deal of fun, where I met several very nice people. Finally, the day ended with a Birthday party for Dad. Kate and Rob with family came down from Waterloo, and it was so nice to see everyone.

Today is turkey day. It has been a while since our last turkey dinner, so my mouth is already watering. I hope who's ever reading this, has a tremendous day as well.

Jewel of Westmount - Open House 2-4PM

Every once in a while you come across a jewel of a home: great upgrades, but more important then that great style in a smaller size. This is what 2251 Briarwood is with beautiful rich hardwoods, porcelain tiles, and were there is carpeting it has been upgraded  to give it that luxurious feel. The colour palette is neutral where it needs to be, and charmingly cheerful in a few select locations with periwinkle blue or ruby red. From top to bottom this house is complete, and move in ready. The back and front gardens are fully landscaped with beautiful perennials adding colour throughout the seasons. There is a substantial front porch to sit and relax while talking in the neighborhood activities, or the more private back brick patio with ample room to spare. There are 4 Bedrooms, and 2 full bathrooms, and one half bath. The master-bedroom does have an ensuite with soaking tub as well as a separate walk-in shower. The kitchen of warm maple cabinets has a built-in desk, substantial pantry, and large eating area looking over the family room with gas fireplace. 

I hope to see you at this jewel of a home!

Open House Sunday 25 January 2009

I'm going to be doing an open  house at 88 Ennisclare. It is a beautiful older home, which needs a little tender loving care. It has great principle rooms, and a tudor cottage feel included leaded glass window. The open house will be from 2 to 4 PM on Sunday January 25, 2006. 

I hope you can make it.
