I'm addressing this initially to Mustang who is weighing her options of home accommodation for her new job. But anyone here can weigh in with an opinion. I've done something even more radical, I bought a home. And will be moving soon. Dearie is helping me move some stuff where I am now. Rest is still in Vancouver. Not a big deal to me now. So mortgage at this time again in life...I did have one years ago but paid off, sold home, etc. So I will have 2 homes (no I don't own 2.) to travel between. I decided that necessity means for me to have a job and work away for awhile. So I don't want to pay rent ... My attitude is: see how things evolve jobwise. If something goes really wrong, I sell it and move back. I know that this is a radical step. But actually deareie is thrilled for me. So am I since I like the new place than where I am now. I just have to pay off mortgage as quickly as I can. It's near a bike route.

Orchid, I've been meaning to respond to this for days now, I'm so sorry for forgetting. I agree with Anne - it sounds perfect and wonderful for you! Congratulations and I look forward to hearing how much you enjoy moving in. Do you have a backyard for planting a garden?

Admittedly I'm not much of a gardener. But most interestingly, I will have 2 separate balconies...one off from the kitchen. And the other off from the bedroom. Not that I was looking for 2 balconies. So most definitely I should buy at least 1 small outdoor eating table chairs set. The closest would be container herbs. Actually dearie likes doing that type of minor gardening. I seem to forget to water plants. Calgary has way more sunny days than Vancouver or Toronto. But shorter growing season.

Congratulations to your new home, Orchid. If I could, I would bring you a loaf of bread and a cup full of salt. That is a German tradition, wishing a new neighbour that he will prosper and never go hungry.

It would be so great if there were common welcoming traditions like that! We've lost abit of some common rituals...
