First of all, Happy New Year 2010.So we have started the process of looking for a house, a bit tricky here as the choice of school will determine the choice of area we will live in. Throw in Daddy's office is in Uptown and we have a mileage limit on the car and it becomes a jigsaw puzzle of needs and wants.
It would appear we have 2 choices to make initially; do we want space and a biggish house in a new planned community out West or do we want a smaller place in an established zone nearer the office. The school we are favouring for the children is to the West but there are other options downtown. So many choices!! Size over convenience.mmm.
Another thing to ponder.. why are the master bedroom suites downstairs and why is this so desirable? it reminds me of Victorian England where the children were kept upstairs out of sight, only to be seen on occasions and not heard. Interesting cultural observation.
One thing we have been marvelling at, is the decorations people have in front of their houses. Admittedly it is Christmas time and so some extravagance is to be expected. The boards about being a proud parent from such and such a school and the team boards however are another thing entirely. It is also strange to see swings attached to the trees in front of the houses on the pavement instead of in gardens. For me too, it is strange that the houses are not divided in front they all just flow into one another, there are fences in the back however. I do like the individuality of the houses in the older areas of town, it looks like the America portrayed in Hollywood films.
