01/07 THE MINIMALIST - NOT

January 2007

AND THE FLOOR CONTINUES TO SAG

The unpacking continued for days .............
In all fairness - this was the combination of all my furnishings from my old house , my little Laguna Beach cottage, the Anguilla
apartment which I had closed the summer before, my gift and millinery shop in Laguna Beach which closed in '05 and things from our mother which had been in storage for years ....WHEW!!

This is a huge project - your interest in St. Marys keeps me energized and I love hearing from you

The Project

I saved the church and the church saved me. This wonderful renovation project began in August '06 with an attempted act of terrorism. I was to return to So. California from Wisconsin on the day that crazed people with explosives in their shampoo bottles were busted in London and the whole world stood still. I took the option of re-booking my flight a week later and set out to find an interesting place to make my new home. I drove to the country to see a lovely Victorian farmhouse and passed an old church with a simple "For Sale" sign - and the rest is history. Actually, it wasn't all that simple. My offer was accepted in September the same week I was diagnosed with breast cancer. Everyone insisted I cancel the offer....I was too sick - there was too much to do - the job was too big - I had to stay in California - blahblahblah. I told them it would give me something else to think about - a reason to get up every morning - it would save my life.

And it did.
