St. Mary: IT'S NOT NICE TO FOOL MOTHER NATURE

IT'S NOT NICE TO FOOL MOTHER NATURE

It's hard to put this in perspective - I need a human. The green trees are about 12 ft tall - the white ones are 6 1/2 ft.

Since all the bushes had been trimmed there was no place for me to string Christmas lights and seeing as this is my first holiday here - I was NOT going to be cheated out of decorating. I went to the local tree lot and bought trees and put them in stands in the front and on the back deck.......HA!!

I had great helpers - if I had to get down on the ground like that I 'd never get up !

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.
