Tilting houses

Amherst St., Charleston, SC  
Oh, oh, oh, it is so tempting to try to straighten a shot in post processing but I resisted. In this case the street was on a slope and the pink house was tilted in the opposite direction. There would be no fair game of marbles on the floor of this home. I do love that houses are painted such bright and happy colors in Charleston.

My birthday is tomorrow and this group stopped by my office with a mini cake and balloon flowers. Thanks folks!

Straighten up there, partner!

Percy St., Charleston, S.C.
Someone is tilting a little. Don't lean on this house or it might topple over. I have a neato photo editing feature to straighten a picture and I have to be careful not to straighten out houses that really are leaning to one side.

Googling for "crooked buildings" to see where it led me I came to this web site of amazingly Bizarre Buildings. What a fun way to fritter away a few minutes.

Tomorrow is Friday. What movie shall I see? On Tuesday I treated all my volunteers to a matinee. The Terrace Theater gives me a deal once a year and all the hospital volunteers are invited to wave their ID badge at the window and relax. We saw Hope Springs. It went over very well. Thanks Terrace Theater! We filled the place.

My house is still a mess of white dust from ceiling work but I decided not to put new sheet rock in every single room. My handyman just put up bead board in the bedroom. I don't have the ceiling fan back or painted it yet but I am already tickled. The little Jolly Rancher is coming together!
