Back to the Big City - Where the Sidewalk Never Ends

Well, I got to go back to my Big City for just over a week of city life once again. All kinds of sounds and people and parks and trains and buildings. However, it was a working trip, as we have been trying to get the City house ready to sell. Anyone need a house? It's very nice and roomy, and in a great City neighborhood. We just don't need 2 houses. For any reason really. I do not want to become one of those people who has a house in 2 places just because. If it were a cabin, that would be different. Also if it were closer to the Small Town, we could visit more often, and not be tired and cranky once we have arrived.

Being in the Big City was great - I got to see houses for miles and miles and miles. And there were more than 2 restaurant choices within a 5 minute drive. And things are open late - if you get hungry at 9pm there are a plethora of options. You can go to a bar, or have Chinese, or Indian, or Vietnamese, or Grill, or Neapolitan Pizza, or...
Yay for Big City cusine!

Additionally, I got to see almost all of my friends, and most of the family. This was exactly what I needed after not really knowing anyone here in my Small Town - people I know to chat about random things with.

And, the big news, is that we got 95% of the interior housing projects done and the contractor scheduled for the exterior repairs, which means we might be able to actually list the house by the end of the summer. Another Yay! That will be a huge stress relief when things are out of our hands and we just have to wait.

We do have another trip to the Big City planned shortly, but this one will be filled with happy events - a family wedding. So it will be a quick trip with lots of excitement. Still, it's a trip to the Big City.
