Wouldn't It Be Wonderful If...

As this life of mine is dangling less, but dangling all the same; I sometimes find myself saying: "Wouldn't it be wonderful if-." You can add just about anything you want to the end of that phrase.  (It brought back that old Beach Boys tune "Wouldn't It Be Nice", but their wouldn't it be nice if we were older just doesn't fit into my repertoire these days.)  Sometimes my "wouldn't it be wonderfuls" actually appear.  As I get ready to head to Germany for two months to work a contract, one of my hugest concerns has been pet care for Dal and Sam.  I have it set up for this trip, and then had a huger longer term plan for when I return in April. But, wouldn't it be wonderful if Dal and Sam could come with me? Voila...although still not an easy proposition, it appears that "no pet policy" has been revised to say that you can bring your pets if you are going to be staying in a hotel that allows pets. I'll see how this 2 months go and assess just how realistic it would be, but it's nice to now have another option to consider for us.  And as I continue to ponder the purchase of the barn...wouldn't it be wonderful if the dollar were stronger? Voila...when I talked to Dad the other day who is my dollar/euro watcher-we were at 1.42 to the euro. Each decimal point in that equation can make a world of difference in my cost to purchase the barn.  When these wonderful wonderfuls appear, I sometimes jokingly think: "Okay, maybe I should say wouldn't it be wonderful to have a million dollars!" What might be some of your realistic "Wouldn't it be wonderfuls...?"

We sound like a pretty realistic "wouldn't it be wonderful" bunch! And who knows...maybe there's a VOILA or two in our futures. Kate-I'm so glad your "voila" happened with the house! Take care everyone-Laury

One of my realistic "wouldn't it be wonderfuls" is Wouldn't it be wonderful if I had enough money to do my house up..Move out and then get it all done at once...and move back in!!

Hope you have a good time in Germany..I would like the Euro to be better for us in the UK, then it wouldn't be so expensive for me to visit Europe!
