We took a ride down to the beach at point west.
We can gain entry to the private area because Kelli knows someone who owns a cottage on the beach front. We haven’t been there much this summer, which is typical, it’s so close you forget it’s there, we were trying out our new camera on the ships out on the horizon, boy, does this have a zoom lens or what!
I had my list of things to do in order to catch up on the time I’ve done other things. I needed to finish the legs for the small dresser, start on the refinishing bed and dresser commission, and start stripping the other side of the door for the kitchen island project.
There was even time for a quick splash in the pool. The frogs seem to be getting used to their new home, so far we have seen five chilling on the rocks, not sure where the other seven are.
My personal project has had to take a back seat, which is annoying, but there is enough to keep my sanity from going into overdrive.
I watched a documentary on buildings that defy the era they were built. I’ve always been interested in architecture, and intrigued by the level of detail that goes into these buildings.
I may have mentioned it before, but these buildings were constructed at a time when that level of skill was just a hammer, chisel, and horse and carts.
I’m sure we couldn’t build them today even using modern technology, if we could they would cost a fortune, and would we appreciate that level of detail for a council building, for example? The program raises more questions than answers, but that suits my current level of interest, there is so much we take for granted, and never question, maybe we should, it could change everything.
Another Lifetime to go
