Did We Survive Hurricane Katrina or Not?

Monday, January 29, 2007

While I pass the time this afternoon watching work crews drive by in nice new pickup trucks on their way, presumably, to work on someone else's house today...

I might as well share a picture of our latest tub surround tile choice.

The marble, listello, and resin rope (it's very, very dark up top there) all come from the marble manufacturer line with the catchy name: Banan Appeal. So if we actually go with this I get to tell people that I have banana peel marble in my bathroom! And no one will get it... And I'll laugh quietly to myself like I always do... And nothing will have really changed. I'm laughing quietly to myself now. Hee hee.

Now we just need someone who actually knows how to install marble tile to come to our house and install marble tile before we change our minds again.

Oh look! There goes another truck...

"A man's house burns down. The smoking wreckage represents only a ruined home that was dear through years of use and pleasant associations. By and by, as the days and weeks go on, first he misses this, then that, then the other thing. And when he casts about for it he finds that it was in that house. Always it is an essential -- there was but one of its kind. It cannot be replaced. It was in that house. It is irrevocably lost. It will be years before the tale of lost essentials is complete, and not till then can he truly know the magnitude of his disaster..."
