This room was basically empty for years. It has a sweet Murphy bed, so it was always a great bonus room but it never really had another function. Very quickly, I called it the library, despite the fact it contained no books. I just always knew one day, it would be a library.
It may have taken a decade but it is done and even more unique and beautiful than I ever could have imagine.
This entire project was designed, the wood harvested, the planks plained and installed by Twisted Log, the brain child of Larissa herself. I made a concept drawing, she made adjustments and then went with it, I don’t think either of us fully knowing how this would turn out. The results speak for themselves.

Long awaited renovations are good for the soul. I have always loved this house but it has taken some time to finally start to make it my own. Big things are coming but for the last year, I have been pecking away, starting with the downstairs bathroom, which has never really worked well (plumbing issues) and was really outdated. I usually just offered up my bathroom to guests but it was time to create a little oasis down there and this is the result.
I can’t say enough about Larissa at Twisted Log. She’s just a badass and I love everything she creates. She found the barn wood for the counter top and mirror frame and created the cedar shower —- put her link here

The last few months is the first time, in a very long time that I was not working. Starting this new chapter has been exciting, and needed but it took some time to adjust. Early retirement came as a bit of a shock to the system, so I learned quickly that cooking was a much needed outlet. With a pantry full of worldly spices, random ingredients from over the years and things I had never heard of and had to google, I went to work making soup and a few other experiments.
I made so much soup, I had to buy a deep freeze. And this week, I made more soup and now have to stop because there is literally no where else to put it. I had no idea making soup was that fun.

What. A. Treat.
This is the exact reason I don’t look things up ahead of time. This is a fantastic WWII wreck that sank in 1941 after being attacked by a German bomber. I had the pleasure of completing three dives exploring the inside the wreck, where all of the excitement is; as the ship was filled with: motorcycles, jeeps, trucks and all kinds of things that are still in great condition with little growth on them. There are two decks to explore, and every minute provides something to look at. We did one night dive on the wreck, which was really special. There is a peace to night diving and so, if it’s dark in the ocean anyway, you might as well be in a dark wreck. All kinds of ocean creatures are nocturnal, so it’s also an opportunity to see some creatures you can’t spot during the day.
