After three years of thinking about it

I read on a Honda Element Owner’s Club site that 75% of Element owners have dogs. So first I got the dog. As of yesterday, I have the Element. Now all I need is the IPod!

Not much in my life these days is well planned. I think about things and suddenly they happen. Last week a friend said she saw my car (the one I’ve been talking about maybe buying) in the lot at Colonial Honda. So we called them; the young man who talked to me made a sweet offer; I looked at their cars and now I have mine.

The same with Lila. I was thinking about a dog but wasn’t ready and I certainly wasn’t going to get a puppy in the middle of winter. But then, my dentist told me about a breeder of Portuguese Water Dogs (the breed I had been thinking about because they are hypoallergenic) in Chester; I went to look and fell in love with Lila’s (then pregnant) mom.

And again, I’ve been thinking about putting more windows (facing the lake) in my studio, talked to my favorite builder (on and off over the past year). Now he says he can start Tuesday. So . . . it must be the right time!

Congrats on the car!

So funny! Is it Halifax?!!

The houses and street looks like in Denmark.
You will see that next year, we have houses like them in my village!!

Is'nt it strange??

My new blog is also (sometimes) in english. Today it is :)

I am happy to see you and your new vehicle.
Both are exquisite!

The new car looks great! I need to start thinking about a more dog friendly car. Mine definitely wasn't built for a big hairy beast!

Yes, Elin, the photos were taken in Halifax. It is a lovely city, small and friendly. I'm eager to visit Denmark next year!!!

I'll change the link to your new blog (which is very interesting, even if I can't read all of it!). The photos are wonderful. I can read them!

Loving my new car more and more every day. It's very dog-friendly Rachel. And also painting-friendly. It can be hosed down, inside and out! Just what I need!
