One notable exception occurred a number of years ago when we were in Edmonton on vacation... Watching the news we were surprised to hear a story about Ottawa. Our ears perked up. Apparently a fire had erupted in a long-term care facility. (Where?!! we wondered...) An elderly resident - on oxygen - had decided to sneak a forbidden cigarette, and his room had gone up in flames! Pictures quickly revealed it was the building next to our home!
But that was years ago, and since then life has remained quiet.
Until a few days ago... when the fence between our two properties suddenly disappeared!
Terry quickly went out to investigate, and discovered that a new neighbor who lives behind us wants a taller fence between his property and theirs... So he offered to tear it down and build a new one...
They have put in the posts - but for now we are enjoying the new view...
I also wandered over to take a picture of our house from their yard... a view which will disappear in the next few days!
