15 Cherry Lane

My newest hairbrained idea is hatched. I always get these, live off of them for a few months, and then they fade into the distance. They never come into fruition, because I am lazy...and scared to death.
Property on Prince Edward Island is pretty cheap. The landscape is as close to the praries meeting the ocean as you can get. You can see the sea from almost everywhere, and it's still pretty rural. My idea is to take a skilled trades course when I come back from Europe. I would like to be a carpenter and make beautiful wooden furniture that is functional and beautiful. I could have a work shop, and a small little farm. I could sell my honey and my furniture to tourists in the summertime. In the winter I could hunker down in my little house on Cherry Lane, and write kids books and make more furniture.
How wonderful does this idea sound? Or is it taking this whole Anne thing to far?
