Canadian Update

This is the Year of Change!
- Today is Pip's last day at Manulife after 4 years there.
- July 24 Pip flies to Zurich to live and work in Switzerland with his new job
- Anneli will join him when she's completed her first year at her new job
-Tim is also away: he is working in Kingston over the summer at a full time govt job
- Tim then starts his last year at university at Queen's in Sept
- The old cottage is no more and the new one is 95% complete now...so close!
- June 30 we complete on the purchase of a downtown condo and start 2 months renos
- July 8 we complete on the sale of our home of 18 years at 36 Binscarth in Toronto
- July 9 we rent a tiny one bedroom apt in downtown Toronto while the renos are completed
- Aug 1 we are looking forward to seeing Gabi, Steve & co at the cottage
- Sept 1 we move in to the condo at 62 Wellesley #1706 in the heart of downtown Toronto
- Sept 23 family birthday reunion with Pete, Paul, Bev and Owain at the cottage
So by the end of 2015 we should be downsized, cottaged and on a graceful path to retirement as we hand over more of the day to day management of the business to the radio station...
I like a good plan!
