We have had some great house sits since May 2021 when we returned to house sitting full-time again. House sits #85-103 — for old friends in Austin, Texas, and new friends in Dripping Springs, Texas, Cape Coral, Florida, Martinsville, Virginia, Boiling Springs, South Carolina, Atlanta, Georgia, Aurora, Illinois, Plymouth, Michigan, Washington, DC, Eymet, France, and Verteuil-sur-Charente, France. So many great experiences and people and pets. And we also got to fit in visits with relatives in Iowa, Wisconsin, Georgia, DC, and New York as well. We are blessed.
Since we just wrapped up a house sit in St. Catherines, Ontario, and were inspired to start blogging again by their travel blog, we wanted to at least do a quick post house sit post on House Sit #124 — six weeks in a lovely home and area caring for an amazing dog, Jack. Jack loves walking, eating, being petted, going for drives, and being near his people. We were very happy being his people for six weeks.
Jack’s real people are Rick and Shona. We had a great transition with them prior to their departure and after their return. They are generous hosts and interesting people who have a similar love for travel. On top of that, Rick is a former Olympian AND attended the school that was the film location for the school scenes in “A Christmas Story.” Mic drop. We certainly hope our paths cross again.
We love every place we have visited in Canada, but the St. Catherines/Niagara region is unique for the abundance of wineries, orchards, and flower farms and greenhouses. We were there to see the trees bloom, and it was quite lovely. The other thing in abundance are locations for walking, hiking, and biking — from waterfront trails to canal paths to local paths in parks to the Bruce Trail, a 550 mile plus long trail through Southern Ontario. It was a lovely interlude.
There is so much more I could say, but since I’m playing catch-up, we’ll just have to return to make more memories, eh.
