Why Saint Patrick's Day is so important in Ennismore.

If you ever been to Ennismore Ontario, one thing other then the beauty of the area you will notice shamrocks. Lots of shamrocks. You will see a monster shamrock right at the end of the causeway. You will see them on our signage. The Irish heritage with the main families is huge. Our elementary school and church is named Saint Martins. (St .Martin was St. Patrick's uncle)

Did you know that this festive day called St. Patrick's day is a celebration of the arrival of Christianity to Ireland? March 17th was the date recognised as the death date of St. Patrick. One more quick fact is St. Patrick's Day became an official public holiday in Ireland in 1903 and is also a public holiday in Canada! (Newfoundland and Labrador)

So enjoy St. Patrick's day! Remember on March 17th we are all Irish. (Including me who is Scottish!)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

February 2014 Selwyn (Smith Ennismore Lakefield) Real Estate Statistic Report

Ok, enough already with the minus degree weather. It is causing our numbers to be in the minus.

(Peterborough and the Kawarthas, February 2013 compared to February 2014)

• Total # of new listings -2%
• Total # of listings YTD -12%
• Total # of sales in Feb -15%
• Total # of sales YTD -12%

Just crazy numbers. Wait until you see March. I feel like a sprint runner waiting on the start line for the gun to go off. As soon as we get some warmth, the market will be ludicrous.

Susan, the kids and I went to the cottage last night. We missed going so we thought we would go. We left around 4:30pm. It was an early night. Every one was tired. Today we got up and played around with the kids. After breakfast I wanted to introduce the kids to the woods. Of coarse Renee is too young so I took Lucas and Faith. They had a blast. Snow was deep so we did not go too far. They did not want to go back, I am glad I did turn around as they were getting tired and I would have had to carry out two kids! I checked the ice thickness of Eels Creek, it was over 3 feet! Put the kids down for a nap and had a well deserved coffee. Refreshed and ready for a busy week ahead.
