Touring New Place

Barb found a 55+ community near Kitchener called Morningside.  One of her pickleball friends in Kitchener is a real estate agent.  So she set up a system with him to send us an email whenever something came up for sale in the community.  Barb thought the houses sell so quickly, we would have to act right away if our favourite model went up for sale.

We were going to Burlington to receive an award for my Mom from the Retired Women’s Teacher’s Association.  We stayed with Sarah and Ali.  The award ceremony was on Monday morning.

On the weekend, Barb, Sarah and I went to Morningside to check it out.  We walked around the community and saw the river and walking trails.  We saw the vegetable gardens.  We found the community center was locked.  Barb had to use the bathroom.  So we knocked on the door.  A lady answered the door and let Barb in to use the bathroom.  They were having a party in the library.

The lady took time to show us the big hall which has a banquet room, an exercise room, an indoor pool, a woodworking shop and a craft room.  She said we would be very happy living at Morningside.

We now just have to wait until our model comes up for sale.  The community is 25 years old.  So the original owners are getting to the age where they have to move to assisted living homes.  It might not be long until our house comes up for sale.
