TOP THINGS WE'LL MISS ABOUT LIFE AT
91 ALGONQUIN ROAD
• Long laps in our enormous pool while the children play basketball in the
shallow end
• Afternoon tea parties under the grapevines
• An evening game of tennis under the lights
• A fireplace for every day of the week!
• Swinging under the big oak trees while the whole extended family plays baseball
in the backyard
• Learning to identify the new chipmunks and bunnies every spring
• Cooking at the large cherry wood island where the children do their homework
• Scattering to the corners of the house when everyone needs a little “me” time
• 4th of July: toddlers jumping on the trampoline, tweens skateboarding and
playing basketball on the tennis court, teenagers around the firepit, and all of
the dads burning their fingers on the fireworks
• This house was made for Christmas: the ceiling height for one – or more –
Christmas trees, a grand staircase cloaked in boughs, an enormous wreath
illuminating the outside of the house, a wealth of mantelpieces for the
stockings
• The entertainment spaces: ping pong in the basement, a game of pool in the
den, cards in the library, movies in the attic
• The housework practically does itself: 2 dishwashers, 2 washing machines, 2
dryers, 2 refrigerators, 2 ovens, large closets and a laundry chute!
• Taking a deep and long bath in the master bathroom
• Enjoying Brooklawn Country Club with our neighbors: playing paddle, walking
our dogs on the golf course, sledding, bowling, eating lobster rolls, and attending
interesting events
• Eating fresh eggs from the backyard chickens up the road
• Gifting fresh honey from our own apiary
