So Pamela and I could live together we bought a wonderful home in Coupeville, still on Whidbey Island but 20 minutes North of where I lived before. It has a large wood shop which will become my studio, and a large garage part of which will become Pamela's studio. Now there is plenty of room for all our artwork, and a walk-in closet for all Pamela's clothes. We love the house. The only downside is the five acres that need to be mowed and a lot of landscaping including a "secret" garden with an orchard. My timing wasn't great as I had the Vietnam Vets project underway and had already committed myself to the trip to Alaska. But we made it all work.
