Joanne is really feeling better. Her system is still not quite right but her new medicine seems to help. One tequila, two tequila, three tequila....floor!!!

Up early and I am working on plans, just ideas as I have no measurements. I am pleased with our ideas and I complete drawings of;

the front yard with pool, driveway and gardens

1^st floor with entrance hallway that opens to back terrace and 3 bedrooms

2^nd floor with great room (living, dining and kitchen areas) opens toward the views, and master suite

Extend spiral staircase to roof top terrace covered with peaked Mexican tiled roof, food preparation area and bar, laundry area.

We take photos of the type of architectural details that we like and we feel sort of prepared for our afternoon meeting with the builder/architect.

We meet at the house and things go well. I like the builder and he seems to understand what we are trying to do.

We discuss details and get a preliminary budget – the final budget will be presented tomorrow afternoon. The initial figures are so good it makes me afraid!

At the apartment, our dinner conversation is all about this project.
