Last bit on change

I know that was supposed to

be the end of the change bit.

Along with all the mistakes the picture of our house disappeared.

So this will be the last of the change segment. I loved it out in that area it was really quite beautiful. They have just about everything you could ask to be surrounded by. Mountains; Water; Trees; Open Spaces and Birds. In abundance, Osprey, Eagles. I used to be able to sit on the front deck and watch the birds fish and hunt and fight. I have seen some dandy Eagle fights. Unfortuneately long before we decided to sell our neighbors sold their place. The place on the other side of the mountain also was being developed. Wardner went from a beautiful sleepy little village to the mountain being stripped of trees to put in a road. They turned the top of the mountain into a Strata complex. Daily you could hear the sounds of big machinery and the blasting......now that was fun, all of a sudden it would feel like the house was coming down.

When the neighbors sold it brought all of that even closer. The noise and dust and plain ugliness of developement became an everyday occurence. The Osprey that live just across the way are trying to adjust and live amongst all the changes. The Eagles have decided it is no longer a haven for them, it became a place we couldn't live in anymore. All of these thingsare what prompted us to make the change. These pics are of our old house now moved from it's original location. The rocks you see are what I used to see from the kichen and living room. I used to be able to roll over in bed in the morning and see the Eagles sitting on those rocks. I really miss that. It is sad that all of that has changed and a truly beautiful place no longer exists. Well that is it for Change. It is chore time..............Some things never change!!!!!! Later. Have a great day.

Change Cont.

Good Morning, I guess it is

the sky is blue... there's a bonus.

It is still so much like winter it is definitely getting old.

I saw my first Robin yesterday

so I know Springs coming. I'm going

to finish off the story about change.

Please forgive me if there are a bunch of mistakes in here, I don't have time today to sit here forever and try to fix my ineptness......so you get what you get.Anyhow we sold our place in Wardnerit took less than 24 hrs to sell.

We had no idea what the plan was for the property. The neighbor got wind of the plan for the property and the next thing you know we became bad people. The developers that bought the place have a plan to put 53 lots in there. Some will have Stata type homes and some will be RV lots. The neighbors became angry and put signs all over the place. You can't tell much from the picture but the one is the plan for the property and the other is a sample of what some of the people think about the plan. What is really ironic about the whole thing is that the people complaining the loudest are transplants from other Provinces etc. They say they don't want a bunch of Albertans or others coming in and buying up spots, yet that's exactly what they did. At any rate to make a long story shorter, my part in all this was pretty simple. I found the whole thing sad. Our house was moved and is sitting on a trailer with a for sale sign on it. They damaged it in transit which was only a couple hundred yards. Anyhow enough of this stuff. the moral of the story is. Change is not always a good thing. Some things are better left the same. I had a picture of the house in here but I don't see it anymore..... I think the demon got it. Anyhow enough for now . It was not my intent to write a book. Stay tuned for more on the horses. I have strayed long enough. Have a great day all.

Change

Hello. I decided to do something different
this time. We moved from a small community
about 25 min. south of Cranbrook, BC.
We now live about 25 min.
north -west of Cranbrook,
When we lived
in Wardner we had a house overlooking the river
and there was a garage, a tack shed
and a shed for the tractor.
There was a barn over the bank.
The point is people lived there and had a life.
The two pics up top were taken from across the river, all you can see now is dirt everything that was there is gone- all the life is gone. Sometimes change is sad and maybe not such a good thing. The bottom pic is one of our old neighbors showing her displeasure with change. Well I have to run now. I will show you some pics on this subject next time. Have a great day.
