OK, driving this morning I overheard Watson on Rock 102 venting about how his wife and him are looking for their first home but are frustrated with what you get for what you pay...  having a home on the market my first thought was I should send him my listing, my second was an internal giggle at the fact that every house I've bought I've felt the same way.

Here's the deal though, when my parents moved to Saskatoon they felt the same, when they bought their next house moving to the East side in the early 80's they nearly choked on the $78,000 price tag, likewise my in laws with their first home in the late 60's early 70's thought they over paid (under $20,000) for their first and were told they were over paying when they bought their second home for $53,000 in the late 70's

Saskatoon say hello to snow

So it's Oct. 8th, and it snowed, for the first while I looked out the window and said to myself "it's melting when it hits the ground, and it really is beautiful as it floats down, as the day progressed and the snow began to stay I found I had to work a little harder to stay positive about it.

The truth is really the weather was quite nice, the snow is very beautiful coming down and for a brief time the white blanket leaves everything feeling fresh and clean, allowing us to forget about those leaves we hadn't raked or sucked up yet, and any other misc. yard duties that are yet undone.
