My summer home

I longed for a summer home.  I had lived in San Francisco for about 15 years,
enduring "the coldest winter I ever spent was a summer in San Francisco",
as Mark Twain quoted. I grew up on the east coast so summers meant hot,
sticky weather, spent outside, swimming, sunning, living.

Finally, I had the opportunity to purchase this stunning home in the Russian River
Valley.  From the outside it looks like a small abode but inside a 2200" sg.ft.
beauty existed - vaulted living room ceiling, original redwood paneling,
3 bedrooms,  two baths and a remodeled modern kitchen. 

I experienced many great times and hosted dozens of events but life is not all
sunshine, roses and hydrangeas.  More of this tale later.....
