Gardening

 



My sweet pea tree produced the most flowers this summer... I called it a tree because it grew into that shape.


The old with the new...

Spending Time




 


Writing, 
quilting,
gardening,
building a wooden outdoor shelter,
contemplating renovations,
interior,
kitchen, bathroom,
wondering who might visit this year.

Here we are


 Well, it's been about a year since this trip. Neither of us had been across the seas before... it took courage, prodding, and gobs of money. The best advice I can give is to determine, in advance, where the money should come from... and, of course, pay before you go. This will ease all the tensions of travel to pave the way for pure enjoyment.

What I would change for the future...

Be a bit more prepared to spend for sightseeing admission fees. If you've never been to a country you've long been awaiting a tour of... as the two of us in the photo,

 ...budget for these possibilities. 

We've had a year to talk about what we would have wanted to see if we would have had more time there. It's a long way to travel, from here to there, so plan well.

I chose a difficult photo to guess the location we went to...

where do you think this is?

New Everything

 ... almost. 

Truly, I was not imagining I would be doing more renovations. What have I learned about renovating? Do not invest in property without a reliable partner. 

Here's why. Unreliable partners steal. An unreliable partner will take your money, your time, your energies, your good will, your human spirit, your hope... and, if yet it could happen, a partner like this will try to take your faith as well.

Don't let that happen to you... it happened to me. Unresolved, I'm still waiting for remuneration... lots of work I did... I should get paid for it. I have receipts, of course, but I have not taken legal action... yet.

I don't enjoy fighting.

So, now my partner and I are legal and binding and there should be no more problems in the future. The room, pictured above, is a basic renovation I did... enjoying good nights' sleep now.
