And finally….. Alberta bound!
After two years of unemployment (today is the 2nd anniversary of my termination), I finally received an offer of employment last night from Scouts Canada out of their Calgary office. So… we are moving back to Alberta. Amazingly, we are still in our home in Lion’s Head. I’ve been expecting an eviction notice (with 10 days deadline) for weeks ~ even months ~ and it still hasn’t come. Our plan now is to be out by May 6. Alex and Mark will go to Mom & Dad’s with the animals and plants and I will take the loaded U Haul out to Alberta and put everything into storage. Then, once I find a place for us to rent, I will fly home (Scouts will actually fly me back to Ottawa ~ Scout head office ~ for orientation) and then I can drive my family ~ including all our animals and plants ~ back to Alberta for good!!
So we leave behind our little homestead in Lion’s Head. There is some heartache around this, but not much in the way of choices. And we are looking forward to being back in Alberta again. And although we leave behind the land, we are taking many plants and the chickens, dogs, cats and fish are all going as well. So we will have a good start up at the other end. I am looking forward to being able to move forward once again, to plant and grow and tend and harvest. It is a good thing!!
