Ebenezer A letter from Eden Mills Dear May Weve sold the house In We move tomorrow I didnt mention it before because I wonted to have something definite to tell you and by then We got into the job of packing and I didnt have time to write When Dad got home wo discussed the pros and cons and concluded that this was the year to sell We tried a few leads ourselves but after about three unsuccessful weeks we decided to list it with an agent thinking it would probably take most of the summer to sell Imagine our shock when ft went in less than a week with closing date the 30th of Juno Fun begins Well then the fun began Dad took on the task of sorting boxes and boxes of letters and each day he had a good fire in the fireplace I took on the household goods part Every time I looked doubtful about where to pack something Dad said Sell It So eventually I started making a pile of things Soon this was so large that the things had to be moved out onto the porch And it seemed no time at all until that was half full of items which wore duplicates or which we hadnt used in five years or which I wished I hadnt bought in the first place By VKBarrow 1 included the but not the coal oil lamp wick which Norm had given me for fittings that I passed on to Norm Finally we got in touch with Mr the auctioneer from Rockery and agreed to have him auction It all on the following Friday I wasnt too sure I really wanted to attend but in the end I went along with Dad and was I ever glad I did Really we found it a lot of fun Compare estimates Dad had made us lists and he kept a record of the bids that the skilled auctioneer was able to get When we got home we had a great time comparing our estimates to the amounts we actually received We were amazed at the variance But we were well satisfied with what we made and particularly so because now there that much less to move 1 shall be sorry to leave the village and the little 98year old church at Acton which Ive been attending The Dawsons have very kindly offered us the rectory while they are away so that will ease the break While we are there Ill be able to pick up the mall And Im sure grateful to John Turner who has promised to forward it after that until I have a permanent address And so Goodbye Eden Mills An oasis a sanctuary Time to stare time to gaze at the Lodge service UCW in news swelling buds in January the thinning ice at the edge of the pond the beaver the translucent evening sky and sharing the fear of fire and the excitement of young and old when the Canada Geese stayed all summer long on the pond And the friends I have
