Good very late Thursday my peeps… well, for the next half-hour anyway! Crispina’s lovely photo (third one – my bad) made me think of faeries right away but then she, herself, Crispina, that is, wrote about faeries and I thought, damn, so much for originality… After a little back and forth between the lovely Crisp and I, it was determined that I could still, which I knew I could, but yanno… So… I did my thing – going through my photos trying to find inspiration and lo! It came to me in bits and pieces (or is it in holes in trees?) You decide!
Location, Location, Location
“Hello, you two! I have arranged the visit of three homes that should fit the bill. Shall we?”
“Lead the way, Sereia!”
“This first is a condo in a lovely highrise, giving you a beautiful view of the river. ”
“Oh. No. We don’t want to feel like we’re living in an apartment building!”
“Right, no problem. Let’s go to the next one: a very simple triplex. Top unit. No one above you yet you are part of a small community. The rooms are spacious and you have a fabulous view of the park. What do you think Aerwyna?”
“Honey, this is nice, isn’t it?”
“Well, yes, Magus… I do like it, but… condo fees? Do we really want to deal with that extra headache?”
“Never mind, you two. I saved the best for last! A small cottage in the woods, no neighbours, no fees, peaceful.”
“Where do we sign?”

What a clever and cute post. Ah, the joy of the search for a new home. Couples are anxious, agents can’t wait for their commission. No matter who/what you are… 😉

Q,
Hahaha!
You clever, cheeky monkey, you. Interestingly, the creatures of this great big world have many of the same preference as we do. Which means we should be cooperating with them more than we do sometimes, eh?
No fees and plenty of privacy? Unless there is a trap door, this is slam meeting dunk.

B,
Clever, cheeky, monkey, eh? Funny how we are both looking for the same thing… And yes, we should be cooperating WAY more!
Ooohh… that may be one of the hidden special features. Trap doors become necessary when you are a little creature of the woods!

Q,
Yes and yes, and you know it! LOL.
Cooperation is tantamount to our long term outlook. We either join together or perish. No pressure!
Trap doors, money pits . . beware of those buggahs. And now I have Tom Hanks and Shelley Long on the brain . . .

Smidge is a good word. It’s got a certain kitcheny feel to it. A smidge of this, a pinch of that . . .
