06/08 LET'S GET THIS PARTY STARTED

FINALLY - I get to do something fun. After all the months of demolition and structural stuff - I want to do something pretty. It's an adventure because I've never done any of these things -but I've certainly been around the process for a million years ! It seems that something must have rubbed off along the way ........

"Ya Think?"

The lower-level guest suite will be the "Anguilla Suite". That island is such a big part of my life and the lives of my friends - I know it will make everyone happy.

The main level guest suite

now THIS is exiting - I won't have to go to the gas station any more!! Like my curtain?

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.
