July 23, 2013. Western Head, N.S. Complications.

Our life is complicated.    We are always going from one place to another.  Just keeping track of our schedule is difficult, but Ken and I seem to thrive on action.  We like projects.   When our life is calm and the houses in order, we actually look for what to do next.   Here in Nova Scotia, we are set with our life.   The main house is lovely, as is the Guest House, and the Cottage is everything we need in a cottage.  Ken and I have decided to open our properties to the public to rent, when we are not in residence.

It is a bigger deal than we thought.  So far, we have selected a property manager, Miguel and Monique, a very nice couple who have relocated here from Holland.  We like them so what started out as a rental of the Guest House has become renting all three of the properties.   Right now, a couple is staying for a week at the cottage, and there are two different bookings at the Guest House in August.

But Ken and I have work to do.  Today we purchased two single mattresses for the cottage and we must buy more sheets.  I do not have two sets of sheets for every bed.  Unfortunately, you can not buy sheets in Liverpool so I must drive to Bridgewater.  And we must use different terms.  Miguel and Monique call the Guest House the Cottage, and they call the Cottage The Cabin.  Fortunately, they call our home The Gull Bay Home.   Already, our complicated life just got worse, but we like it.
