Yes Ron, the architect here was a minimalist... and so
the house is very clean lined and finished edges, not me.. I had the
subtle victorian and spent ten years restoring it and bringing back the original
details and woodwork etc.,,, I absolutely delighted in finding just the
right wallpaper and restoring the floors and bringing it back to what the
original house was...
Like you, I would love to get my hands on a church that
someone else had not... I too would love the open space.. I had always
thought of redoing a large warehouse too.. The architect here left the
bell tower and took the original bell out and donated it to another church I
believe. If it were here I believe I would have rung it quite a few times
to relieve some of the frustration that cancering has created... And no
organ my friend...boy would I love to hear you make the rafters
rumble..
In fact that is one of the strange things about this
house.. I have never lived anywhere that I haven't made it feel like a
home until here. All of my furniture is here that I have collected over
the years, but there is not another shred of me or my home here yet.. It
is a wonderful house, but it has not become my home yet... Funny how we
get attached to things and places and have trouble adapting to change.. or then
again, maybe its just this change for me... Of course it could also be
that one week after we moved in here I got sick and that there has never been
much happiness here yet... Whatever it is, is not important right now..
what is important is what it will become...
I went to the doctor and got a little help for my tears
for the time being... I am on paxil and activan for awhile. I guess
they feel that the lump(s) was the catalyst to a normal grief reaction for what
I have been through, and have yet to grieve. My oncologist said I have
been too chipper through out all of this and that what I am going through is
normal... So I am going to be normal for awhile and then get back to being
my normal, I hope..chipper...!!
You share the love of good music that I have too. I especially love
classical piano. For a current artist,Yanni is an artist that I have come
to enjoy, however I seem to find many of the same songs on each new CD I
buy... Ever think about some of the truly wonderful movies and realize
that there is always the right piece of music to guide your emotions to where
they need to be... Cut out the music and you have lost much of the
mood..
Well, I am going to get this sent and sign off for awhile.... I will
be in touch soon.... Hope you're Ravel---ing! Love, Carla
