Quite an accomplishment to join 2 homes both classic

most would wonder why they bothered. Personally, I am glad they Tim and Trish Kelly cared to retain these home reflecting how they lived in the early days of Pass-A-Grille because these homes were made of solid old timbers from Forests long gone. Soon we will be using other products besides wood. I actually saw a big old piece of heavy furniture on the sidewalk and pondered how unfashionable it is today. Modern furnishings are plastic and sleek, right?

I marveled at how rich this felt being surrounded by all this wood but the light flowing in was equally soothing. I was puzzled when I drove or walked by, about why the purple wood at the back on the second floor seems to have failed as a facade. Recently I found out the reason was that when the house was elevated the city said they had to take off, discard the SOLID WOOD siding and replace it with NEW siding. What a travesty that must have been to throw out all that good wood that was over 70 years old and strong. The new did not last 20yrs. Something to say about life today.

Could true Wisdom for the future be best seen in our ability to reflect and understand the past?
