What a week, and it's only Wednesday...on Sunday while some of us were at The Cottages for a couple eight year olds birthday pool party, one of the neighbors in El Norte had a house fire. Something sparked at the post, and his little bamboo house went up quickly. It spread to a vacant lot across the street, but the tienda next door was saved thanks to the Volunteer firemen and neighbors quick action.
We learned later in the evening, the house belonged to one of our surfer friends. He lost his school books and laptop, not to mention all his personal items. The Cottages by the Sea quickly sprang into action going thru their extra/lost and found pile and put a plea on Facebook for household items. We were able to give Gabriel a used laptop/notebook, mattress including sheets and towels and more...now just to rebuild. I saw him going to class this morning, as I waited for the breadman, and even tho he didnt have books or a backpack, he was happy for the diversion.
I Got the paint and varnish done on three of the four chairs, and cushions made for one today. The set with a medium sized end table will sell for $400. A new hair cut client who came the other day was in love with them, so I know if I get more I can sell them.
A beautiful sunset walk the other night coming home from the pool. And San Clemente's new sign, San Jacinto is getting their area ready, so they will have their new sign soon.
Much still to do, more cushions to sew, and another chair to paint and varnish, not to mention get my salon area finished. So...stay tuned, the adventure continues.
