A Peek Into My World on a Friday Evening
By Jeannine Patané • 25 January 2008

 


    My loft floor on a Friday night acts as a drafting table. I unrolled blueprints from years ago, which were resurrected from a corner in the maintenance building.


    My journaling has changed from free-form writing to record keeping the estate's daily activities. This contributes to the annual preventative maintenance schedule.


    A pile of holiday cards from this past season await my handwriting. I write a few per week, so I should have my greetings out by Spring. Life here is busy.


    Looking over elevation plans for the estate. The architect tubes were not labeled, so I play a paper archaeologist for the evening, finding things existing and proposed.
