Just a little about me and our Mulmur story. My husband
Norm and I found our 200 acre farm in the north part
of the township in 1972, and moved in to our home with
our 5 year old son, Andrew, our 3 year old daughter
Heather and our two month old daughter Ayrlie, May 15th,
1973. Our last daughter, Alex was born in 1982.
Our Victorian brick farmhouse,
built in 1889, was in need of much repair. We set out
to bring it back to its former beauty, as well as planting
an apple orchard, tons of trees around the house, and
repair and replace acres of fencing.
Our children benefited
immeasurably from the rural experience as they grew
up. They all worked in their own business of lawn care
in Mulmur as teens, and learned the invaluable lessons
in having chickens, lambs, cattle and horses on the
farm. Our grandchildren Bryn, Hannah and Cade are now
loving time spent at the farm with their pony, and the
cycle continues with Mulmur as the family setting.
A life extender? I think so!
Having first been a teacher, I then chose to make rural
real estate my second career, so that I could be an
"at home" mum, while spending working time
doing what I loved. Walking the hills, climbing into
barn mows, driving up more laneways than the tax assessor,
and looking for that "perfect property" for
my urban clients.
Because of the trust and confidence
placed in me, and those ever-so-important word of mouth
referrals over the years, 30 years later, my business
is booming, I still love what I am doing, and I have
said that I'll be the only 90 year old real estate agent
still roaring up the hills, but with a walker and two
hearing aids! Anyone who knows me will not be surprised.
