{life is so good}

our darling cousin called from germany yesterday... who is like our second mom, an older version of cameron diaz, just as blonde, just as pretty, just as bubbly, and loaded with pure energy. her positivity is super contagious, i adore being in her company. do you know people like this? they just bubble over with joy and cheer. so she called because she heard the agency didn't have floor plans available for our apartment so she's going to drive up to hannover this week to measure for us. she lives in a village on a hillside near the schloß bückeburg, a castle i visited with her back in '05. i wish i could recall the name of her village, i'd show you photos of her darling town. it's so quaint, much like an english village. i find the english countryside and the northern german villages a lot alike. anyway.. i've been dying to get the dimensions of the rooms and finally we will have them. now i can start pulling together some floor plans which i'll post here on haus maus soon. life is good. p.s. i just remembered where our cousin lives... antendorf.
