April 27, 2010

We have an appt. with our doctor tomorrow to check up on Hunter.  I'm hoping she'll refer him to a pediatrician.  I'm not willing to wait the 3 months she is suggesting to see if he gets better.  If it's asthma or allergies, we should deal with them now, so he's breathing better.

We are buying a cottage.  It's on the Otonabee river in Peterborough at Rice lake.  It's a co-ownership cottage.  It was a resort.  The owner is selling off each of the cottages (there are 10) individually.  When we close the deal (in june) we will have exclusive rights to our cottage as well as a 1/10 ownership in the property.  This deal seems to be a great fit for us for a few reasons;
a) it's cheaper than buying a traditional freehold cottage
b) we pay a "condo" fee each month, which takes care of our taxes, water/hydro bills, grass-cutting, property maintenance, etc.  Having the farm to take care of leaves us without the desire to cut even more grass....this makes it possible to have the enjoyment of a cottage without the hassle!
c) it allows us the freedom to go up on a "spur of the moment" basis for a night or two.  Unlike the fractional ownership deals that we were considering before this came up.

Our plan is to go up and stay our first night this weekend.  We're very excited.
