Toronto

Brook and I went to Toronto the last weekend in June. It was great to get away for a few days and forget about the house stress. We both got massages, then attended a Blue Jay's game. Saturday, we went to Casa Loma - a castle built around 1913 - it was gorgeous! We then took a tour of the city on a double decker bus and went to Mass at St. Michael's Cathedral. We ended the day with a little wine tasting and dinner on Lake Ontario. Sunday, we woke up and headed for Detroit, to attend the Tigers' game and they WON! What a great trip!

House for Sale

After working on my house for the last 3 months, I have been trying to get it listed for the last week and it is a lot harder than I thought! I have met with 3 realtors - the 1st one, an independent realtor, came, took pictures and then told me I should "go with a big real estate company." The 2nd, who is still in the running, wanted a large commission. And the 3rd, who I met with at lunch today, told me to list my house ridiculously low. She wouldn't even list it, unless I took her recommendations. As politely as possible, I told her there was no need to further discuss my house. I was in tears, as I came back to work. It is really frustrating and hard to imagine the potential monetary loss. Who knew the market was really this bad??!!
