On July 8th, I moved into a new house and finally saw my belongings after having them in storage for over 2 years.  Moving to Muskoka is something I do not, and don't think I ever will, regret, but it has had it's challenges for sure.  All of them worth it, in my opinion,  but that doesn't make them non existent.  It has been a long road. After moving all of my things on Sunday, [...]
