Quinault Lodge

This is a favorite place I found exploring by myself years ago.

I have enjoyed coming here to restore and often meet up with people I perchance to meet and connect with.

Today I met Ann and Stan from NY.

They've been coming here for 25 years from NY.

I've been coming here for maybe 16 years. But they come every year.

The lodge was built in a little over 2 months time in 1929. Trees below are only 85 years old.

I'm dreaming of a textile museum.

Ok. It's only one dream, I admit.

I'm also dreaming of a special community museum like the one I conceptualized and inspired in a community where I used to live.

But on a more evolved scale!

And my sail boating island cabin lifestyle.

And Travel to the Silk Road via Japan, Mongolia (train), all over Uzbekistan, collecting, then train to Finland, Sweden, Norway..( some sailing in Fjords there, inward to Denmark, Spain, France, Italy....

Maybe Tunisia, Malta and Morocco

Maybe I'll come back home?

If I have a museum for textiles and a suitable library to build.

Spring Things.

Home sweet home.

It's been quite mild so far.
Only one freeze.

The beach and its treasures.

Sunset like watercolor

A Japanese Garden with interesting history built in a quarry in San Antonio TX

A friend of mine with NPR did a great piece about this garden and the Japanese family who cared for it prior to the war. Jack Morgan is the radio personality. You can likely google this to hear the story.
