Ottawa

We are waiting for the phone call from Peter Rock, our lawyer, who will tell us the deal is done, the house is ours, and we can come get the keys. The place is lovely. I need to go back today and take photos and post them--by the time you read this, I may have already done that. I can't believe the terrace (yes, we have a terrace), is 12' by 19'. That's pretty awesome in and of itself, but we also have a washer/dryer, a real kitchen with plenty of counter space, an office where I can write the great Canadian novel, and a great neighborhood (soon to be spelled 'neighbourhood') where there is an Asian supermarket that has everything except that carrot stripper that Thas has been looking for since Jesus' dog was a puppy. The phone should ring in about an hour or so to tell us the deal is finalized.
