Window On Wasaga From Our Home to Yours: Johnson Family Highlights of 2009 Jossy and Holly continue to thrive in school, now in Grades 1 and 3. Camping, drama, dance, science, and water sports all spelled out summer fun Mary staged more homes than ever, for Bruce’s clients and other REALTOR’s clients, with many opportunities to put the transformative power of feng shui into practice Bruce took his kayaking skills up a notch or twenty by exploring the infamous Ottawa River play spots Time with friends and family—and especially our parents— was a blessedly recurring theme, in Minnesota, Florida, South Carolina and holidays here at home in the Beach
Thank you…! After 13 years working at RE/MAX, it goes without saying that we love referrals. But we really can’t thank you enough for recommending us to your friends or family who are moving into, within or out of the area. When you introduce like-minded souls who value investing, growing, learning and playing in a healthy environment, you make the world a better place! And because we find that the line separating friend and client is a blurry one indeed, we truly hope you’ll continue to keep us in the loop of your life’s ups & downs.
The Blessings of Impermanence We all know that nothing lasts forever. Still, in spite of being the natural order of things, some changes can surprise us — like when a blanket of snow suddenly pops up crocuses, or a random kid demos your sandy masterpiece even before the incoming waves have a chance. Similarly, times of recession and prosperity ebb and flow; “what-if” anxieties rush in and melt away and we’re too busy holding our breath to pursue our passions. In Wasaga Beach we are blessed with colourful reminders that natural beauty, like prosperity, good heath and even luck, is difficult to predict, fleeting in endurance and very, very precious to behold. Here’s wishing you and yours a merry & bright holiday! May 2010 bring you longlasting health, joy and—predictions be darned—peace! -Mary and Bruce
