get a life

A house is not a life, but you'd never know it by my family. Over the years, my parents together and separately have built many houses—the most recent ones—one in Mexico, one in Alabama—when each (parent) was over 70. My sister is currently destroying the kitchen of her very old house, in the process uncovering this flamingo on old beadboard. My brother built out his own house as well as Claudia's Surf City. And none of us can wait for long to start up again. There's always another building project chez nous. My currrent project, Claudia's Surf City 2 (Claudia's Surf Village?) is on hold pending zoning board approval. I'm hoping that the lawyer is in fact submitting the papers for a hearing in July. We'll see. I'm not sanguine, but ever hopeful.
