Thanks Lily but it is not mine.

Oh Sue, that house had been so redone inside. It is amazing. All original built in craftsmen style cabinets in dining room and living room! They redid the bathroom and even found a bathtub from the era. It was so heavy it took 10 people to carry it in. Same era redone toilet too. And a beautiful sunny kitchen not so of that period.....but close. The floor to ceiling fireplace was taken down stone by stone and laid out on living room floor and she found a 90 year old man in Berkeley who had matching stones in his backyard who came and put it back together for her, replacing the broken stones. I LOVE that house. Plus Casey has furnished it in that period or a little later with lots of old Weller pottery, R. Atkinson Fox prints, reupholstered period couch and chairs in varying rose shades of velvet. Just such a comfortable feeling in that house. An they are such nice, nice people. I really need to call them and invite them to dinner!

Hi pretty Sue. I am but still have a terrible cough. But going for sushi soon! We are celebrating tonight with friends there........ we just found out TT passed the NY state law boards. So we are all a titter. I called Kiyoshi to put champagne on ice to start our evening. He has saki champagne but Tom thinks it is way too sweet so I wanted the good stuff. LOL

I am still going thru my photos. Gosh I have so many and so many to delete still! My hard drive is 1.5 terabytes and I am getting it full. I have also decided to specialize in Proteas (my true love) and have been reading so much. I hope my mind will step up to the plate and remember what I am reading. It has been awhile since I expected it to work so it is a challenge. LOL

I heard you were a bad girl the other day with Zu. You are so funny. I so wish I had more room. Have a great weekend!
