Elegant Master Bath Project Completed Successfully

It seemed to be the never ending project.  The concept was done last year, the demolition this summer.  It wound up costing more than our first home, a 3-bedroom, 2-bath structure in Tiburon, California with a view of San Fransisco  Bay and melodious tone of the fog horn on the Golden Gate.  We’re not sure this is a reflection on that first home, an indication of inflation over a 45-year span, or just how deluxe our new master bathroom has impacted our home.  This is just one bathroom and has no view or fog horn, but we feel it has made a tremendous upgrade to our condo unit that we have lived in for almost 20 years. We’ve done projects in the kitchen, dining area, and throughout most of the living areas.  We need to do the powder room and other bath, but that will wait until after the beginning of the year.  Right now we want to enjoy the new master bath improvement.

Removed the tub and made it a bigger shower and took the old shower to add storage.

The Prairie Duneland Trail Ride

Nothing like the promise of a beautiful October Fall day to prompt a ride.  Although it started out a bit chilly and breezy, the sun was out in full force and the leaves were beginning to peak in color.  It was a perfect day for a ride through the woods.

It's a flat former rail line that runs through the woods between the prairie and the dunes.

Fall on the Riverwalk

Several new blocks have been added to the Riverwalk, and with it a lot more traffic and commercial attractions — primarily food and beer.  It was the weekend of the BOA Marathon and the weather was nice, so I took the small camera along to record a few scenes.

There's limited parking so get your yacht tied up and enjoy a beer or wine at this block on the path.

Trying something new

With the growing popularity of Facebook I find my website withering.  That’s a shame because it’s easier to compose text and load pictures using my web content manager.  I’ll be testing it over the next few weeks, so if you see a Facebook post that looks a bit funny, it’s ok — only me experimenting.
