We all (as a family) left our initials on the wall of this little wooden structure overlooking the Pacific Ocean when in Oregon driving around sightseeing. While we could see this place from the bottom on the hill/mountain, it took us awhile to find it at the top, so we christened it when we did as had many before us. We need to make a trip back one of these days soon & see if we can find it again.

Today's Question(s):

What color(s)/exterior material?

What's in your yard?
Anything else you'd like to have in your house/yard?
As mentioned previously I am color blind. It's been a drag going through life like that.
Also mentioned that I have no desire for a big house or a lot of land. I'd rather give the money away to people who really need it. I can think of a few who post regularly on the QOTD that I wish I could help out. It's in my heart to do so. Also, even though I am pet free I'd like to do something to increase funding for shelters.
The only thing I'd want is a bigger kitchen and bathroom, especially the kitchen because I love to cook. No more than 2 bedrooms, a small office, and outside space for furniture and a garage. I've never been in a hammock so maybe experience that. All would be very modest regardless how much money I had.
Bonus Question(s):
Do you have:
a map (of anywhere) on the wall?
a globe?
an atlas?
a compass?
a map in your car?
GPS?
I especially do not want the latter.
From the above list I have paper maps in my car that I have not used in a long time.
Just for Fun:
Have you ever "left your mark" anywhere, such as carved your initials in a tree, written your name in wet cement, or written on a bathroom wall? - Never.
Thanks, PatsCats
Happy Wednesday to all!
It's going to be very hot here (100 degrees / 38C heat index) but at least I have the day off.
Today's Question(s): If money were no object and you could build the house of your dreams, what would it look like? It would be a 1920s style bungalow all on one level and with a front porch that has a swing. It would have a mountain cabin ambiance. What color(s)/exterior material?

Three How many bathrooms? Any special kind of shower/tub? Two or two and a half. How many extra rooms for, say, an office, a studio, etc.? Two. One guest room, one office/den.

What about the land? How big is the piece of property your dream house sits on? It doesn't have to be very big. What's in your yard? Drought-tolerant, easy maintenance landscaping. Anything else you'd like to have in your house/yard? A piano. I don't play, but I've always wanted a piano.
Bonus Question(s): Do you have: a map (of anywhere) on the wall? We have lots of maps, but none are on the wall. a globe? No an atlas? Yes, at least two a compass? Yes, and there's a built-in compass in my phone. a map in your car? It has navigation, but when we travel we take a paper map, too. GPS? Yes, in my cell phone, iPad and the car

No, but I have enjoyed some witty graffiti that I've seen in bathroom stalls, especially in college towns.
