leaning on my conscience wall...blood is like wine

it was demolition day at the rossi residence today...this years summer project - redue the deck - dad and i started on it this morning ripping off stucco and tile and then all the rotten wood...

i love renovation because it means that something new is being created...if i had my choice of cooking or construction i would rather be out in the fresh air with a hammer and some nails then in the kitchen with a hot stove and too many ingredients...

tonight i get to go to a cotillion...or a 'coming out party'...it should be pretty snazzy...i'll take pics of course...a friend from school - her sister is being 'presented' tonight because it's her 18th birthday...apparently its a big tradition in the philippine culture...i never got to go to my friends because i was in italy when it happened...so i am pretty excited to see whats gonna happen tonight...

last night, through some amusing conversations with one of my blogs readers, i got a bit of an odd request - having to do with my apparent 'shoe fetish' - so because i said i would...here are a few pics...hope you enjoy them...*wink
