Hello, dear friends. It's been a busy week around here. Tuesday, we spent three hours at our future home with an inspector. He gave us a glowing inspection report. The Mister and I listened attentively to his in-depth evaluation. The Mister was practically giddy. Nothing gives him more joy than to hear about his investment down to the smallest of details. I nodded off and smiled behind my mask.
Here is the first picture of moi in our future home. Remember I talked about the TV going over the fireplace? This is it. Our realtor asked me if I had enough tchotchkes to fill up the shelves. I told her that I could open a Homegoods Superstore with all the crap irreplaceable trinkets that I have hidden in storage.
This morning, I am off to look at fabrics with my #2. This afternoon, the Mister and I are venturing to one more furniture store. It will be easier now because we have a plan in mind.
Tomorrow we are spending some time at a club that we used to belong to and decided to rejoin. It is an orientation class. For once in my life, I'm hoping to be the star student since I've been down that path before.
Today, in honor of St. Patrick's Day coming up, I found a couple of castles in Ireland for sale. If you buy one, feel free to extend an open invitation to me.

Let me introduce you to my friend, Constance from Hingham, Mass., and her little darlin' Louis.
This is my Louis who I adopted/rescued when he was 5. He’s a Havanese and a total sweetheart once he warms up to you. Before that he can be very anxious and can get growly.
His given name was Louis Vuitton but we mostly call him Mr. Lou, Louis, or Lou Lou.
His favorite thing is sleeping, especially in front of a fire.
The second favorite is getting a treat. Havanese are known for their dancing. He dances in circles clockwise for treats and counterclockwise when it’s time for dinner! I wish I could send a video.
Thanks so much, Constance.
Who knew Havanese were known for their dancing?
