2023 Year End Letter (4/13/2024)
Finally, here’s our very first post-Easter Year End Letter.
Remodeling the house occupied the entire year – reroofing, flooring, paint, adding a shower and sink to the closeted toilet that had been the “bathroom.” And some closet space. Cleaning up the property was a thing – putting in a fence, planting plants, many of them donated by our dear friend and neighbor, Barbara. Diane’s landscape-architecture gradually and magically continues to evolve, attracting the curiosity of neighborhood cats. Under the house I raked the artifact-rich dirt – enough rusted valves, bolts, nuts, and gaskets for an auto-parts store archeological site.
