Just got back from our capital city Ottawa. The more I travel the more convinced I become of what a great area we live in. Although Ottawa is very clean and neat I did go for a boat ride down the Rideau Canal. What did I see ? Brown murky water and dead fish floating belly up. Lake Of The Woods is sure hard to beat. Lets make sure we look after it.

Mortgage rates are very low right now and there is talk of mortgage rates going up. Opportunity is knocking. Take advantage of the lowest rates in years. Around 3% for 5years. I can't remember them being this low.

Summer is here. First day of golf tomorrow.That also means people will be out looking at cottages and waterfront properties. Now is the time to buy the mortgage rates haven't been this low for a years and years. Treat yourself and buy some real estate you can't go wrong.

Are we going to pay for the mild winter we've had up to now? Boy did we get a lot of snow in a short period of time. Sure is beautiful out there with all the snow on the trees especially in the country. What a great place we live in.

Boy are we spoilt. I don't know about you but I'm having a hard time getting use to this -30 degree weather. No wonder people are heading south. Oh well nothing I can do to change things. Better learn to suck it up. Still the greatest place in the world we live in.

What a difference in the weather. Have we been spoilt. Get all your autumn chores done before the cold weather settles in and the snow arrives. Its a lot easier to put the boat away and put up the Christmas lights now than in the colder weather.
