I am terrible with these matters, but I am told it is the proper fashion for one to introduce herself to the neighborhood before the new neighbors come knocking. My name is Dr. Halja Död, but I please feel free to call me Helena. I have recently returned to the United States from abroad and have begun to move into the large Gothic Queen Anne in Lake Forest. I do apologize for any noise this process or my dog may cause you. The movers are late in arriving. I do expect this pandemonium to end within a day or two and to have settled in by that time.
As I am new to the neighborhood and the pantry is bare, could anyone recommend a few good restaurants? Additionally, I am also looking for a trustworthy housemate (this house is far too large for me), a good gym and sports clubs, dog parks, and few charities in need to volunteer my medical services in the area. I appreciate your patience and hospitality.
