Mystery Solved: Meet Hazel!

"Eyes are perfect! No more eye patches." Some of the most beautiful words spoken to me today by Dr Zoe. I don't have to be a pirate anymore!

I stopped by the new medical office to see how construction is going.

Dr Zoe was happy to show me around. First we looked at the ground floor pharmacy.

Then we headed upstairs to the reception area. . .

. . . as well as the waiting room.

While Dr Zoe was showing me her office I looked out the window and I could see Builder Sam's desk.

I could see the new house and I asked Dr Zoe if she knew anything about it.

 Looking out the window Dr Zoe exclaimed, "Yes, that is Fairy Hazel's house."

"Who is Fairy Hazel?" I asked.

"Fairy Hazel is one of my mentors. I will introduce you if you like."
I never thought about the great Dr Zoe having a mentor. We walked over to meet her.

Hazel May is the first fairy that I have actually met. As per usual, I was speechless in her presence. I stupidly asked if she was coming to Oak Leaf Forest to live and she said 'yes'. (Why else would you have a house built here?)

Hazel is having this house built specially as she is just a little bit too big for the 1:12 scale properties. She started to show us the house.

 "Crystal wings!" I inadvertently blurted out when she turned around.

 "Why, yes!" said Hazel. "All fairies have wings. I have crystal ones."
"Oops, I'm sorry. I have never seen such beautiful wings up close before," I lamely said as I turned bright red.

 "That's okay, dear," she said, giggling. We toured the cottage and marveled at the use of recycled materials.

 Hazel has plans for a big stone fireplace so that she can roast marshmallows from the comfort of her couch. "The ideas you have for this house are absolutely wonderful!" I said.

 Hazel May is extremely elegant and moves with such beautiful grace. I was totally enamored by her.

 The highlight of our meeting (and the most dangerous!) was sitting on the roof looking at the view and chatting for a while.

Hazel is rather eloquent and a great listener. She is a wonderful mother figure.

Finally, the great mystery is solved!
Cheerio,

Meeting the Doctors

Hi everyone, I'm back.
I have been away at a conference. (Property manager stuff, nothing very exciting). A big thank you to Kinsey, who has been keeping the office running smoothly, and to Luka for his blog posts.

My first appointment today was with Dr Natalie. She walked through the door and said, "I have a surprise for you."

"Isabelle, I would like you to meet Dr Zoe." 

I could not believe my eyes! Dr Zoe is one of the best Elven Healers in the world, and here she was standing in my office!

I was star-struck and managed to mumble a feeble, "Welcome to Oak Leaf Forest."

I was so in awe that I stupidly offered my left hand for her to shake. Being ever so gracious, Dr Zoe did just the same. We both laughed.

Dr Natalie explained that  she is not well versed in Elven medicine and thought that it might be wise to have a Healer on staff. Dr Zoe was very happy to be working in collaboration with Dr Natalie, and should be in the clinic once a week. This is the most exciting news I have heard in a long time! We sat down and began working out the details for a suitable office.

 The doctors want a newer, town house-style office with old-fashioned charm.

They are well aware that they will need to do renovations to whatever kind of building they buy. (That seems to be a familiar trend around here. Everything seems to need renovating!)

The most modern building I currently have on file is the Princess Anne dollhouse. I showed the doctors some of the construction pictures and told them that the builder would be able to add more square footage.

 (Mr Nova, the supervisor, was sleeping on the job as usual!)

They seemed quite excited, so we went out and looked at it in person. As I suspected, both Dr Natalie and Dr Zoe loved it. They also agreed that an extension would be a great idea.

We went back to the office to talk about additional upgrades and to enjoy a cup of coffee.

 I asked Dr Zoe if I could pose in a photograph with her. She happily agreed.

 I can hardly believe that Dr Zoe will be working in Oak Leaf. How exciting!

Cheerio,

Isabelle
