As to the house, I've been clearing it out in preparation for the renovations - it will be major. I'm taking before pics and as it's being done I may do a few posts about the process.<br /><br />I can't wait to have my first post-reno party - would you like an invite!!

And in this overpriced part of the planet I really had to work like a dog! (a cute cuddly one, but a dog no less) :) :)<br /><br />As to your tiny little cabin - that's what I want too. This does look tiny in the photo, doesn't it?! ;)<br /><br />My VW is my practical 4 door car - everyone should have a "practical" car - and once those back seats are flipped down I'm sure I could be doing a mighty fine job hauling firewood and topsoil to that tiny cabin of mine! Yes sir - make no mistake - I was thinking of that when I bought this little puppy. :) <br /><br />These German cars are amazing - on the autobahn, at 225 km I want you to know nothing shakes, rattles or rolls - I was sold after that! :) :)<br /><br />Pearson Reporthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05422640826640133140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9889100.post-49864330280147748802013-04-17T14:43:28.474-07:002013-04-17T14:43:28.474-07:00Yup, the old boy wanted to start a family but then...Yup, the old boy wanted to start a family but then shirked his responsibilities... and, Matt, I'm not a patient woman so I showed him the door which promptly had its locks changed. As I'm not one to wallow in pity I laced up my big girl shoes and met the challenges of single parenting face on - never looked back, never had regrets. <br /><br />Courtney is the blessing from that relationship - one I would never have had had I not succumbed to his persistence on having a child. I agree, she is awesome!<br /><br />And yes, I did put me and all my dreams on the bottom of the priority pile but now I'm dusting them off and seeing if I like how they fit - I've had some adjustments as my wants and needs have changed as the time has passed.<br /><br />Thanks, Matt, for dropping in - as always I'm sending you hugs for your efforts. :) :) Pearson Reporthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05422640826640133140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9889100.post-33723250785712766022013-04-17T14:36:07.002-07:002013-04-17T14:36:07.002-07:00Very true, Jeff, dreams and nightmares are often t...Very true, Jeff, dreams and nightmares are often two sides of the same coin, and as you say are often the parallels of our waking moments.

Don't get me wrong, I cherish my children, but they are an expensive proposition. Soon enough they'll be "off the payroll" and then Mrs. Penwasser and I can look at doing some of the things we put to the side in the early 90s.
