Pulling up Stakes & moving to new stomping grounds

Hi everyone,
In light of a number of life changing events, we are pulling up stakes and headed to Nova Scotia.

It’s based mostly on family moving out to NS & economic reasons as well to slow the bleeding financially for us with me being on disability for the past 1 or so with no real solid possibility of returning to permanent active employment any time soon.

Cool Personal family Heirloom received last night!

Having brothers that like to collect family heirlooms is a good thing!
They collect it all and sometimes they share.
