Just thoughts

Well I thought that I had found a place but so far no luck. My friend and I did go to Vancouver Island to see a few places as well. The drive up the Island Highway brings back the memories of the drive that is taken every time a keeper from up North heads out. Soon that my husband and dogs will be doing it soon for the last time as well.

Of course that is if I find a place. So far I have found one now just to see if they will take the dogs. Who knew that pets in general would cause alot of problems. For some strange reason they seem to think that a small dog or 2 or a cat would not cause problems. I have found that small dogs can bark alot more than larger ones. As one looks about towns and wonders where all these pets live if you can not have them.. I do know that most will take one dog or a cat and dog or even 2 small dogs. Again odd.

Living on the lights has its good and bad so I now add another good we can have our pets and as long as they are trained , and we clean up one cares how many we have. This goes along with all the other things that make living on the light a good place. My older brother has said that my last blog made it seem that I was missing the light. Must say that there are lots of things that I miss and will miss, but know that it is part of my life that I would do again. The experience is one that not everyone gets in one lifetime. I have had a lucky one so far to living in Europe and now with my husband in a job that not many in this world get to do, or have done.

Buying

Who knew looking for a place to live off the lights would be so hard. It has been a while I know that is because I am still looking for a place. Seems that the world is getting to where they will not allow you to have pets. So I keep looking, all we wanted was the dogs, and town.

Hubby has been on the light packing and getting things ready for the move. Not an easy job alone for sure. Crates have to be built, boxes listed and then crated for the move. Most of the stuff will have to go as the places are much smaller than the house we have at the lighthouse.

It will be hard to lose the whales, eagles, and other sundry of wildlife. As well the view, it is hard to beat on a sunny warm day in the spring or summer. Yet the time has come for us to move on.

One thing this has done has given me time to think about my past as a child remember all the great things and places our parents used to take us to, car rides ending up with a ice cream, the Christmas eve a the Miss Montreal resturant and French pasteries. A day at the park on the river, picnics on the beach in Ontario, and much more. I am sure that all the children who lived on the lights have great memories of their time there as well. I know that I will miss living out there even with all the stuff that is a pain the view and wildlife. Well off I go to see about another place.. I will keep you posted if we ever find a place. And if I get back to my little office and the whales.
