A Greek Ruin???

I like columns and pillars. They add dimension (a measure of spatial extent, especially width, height, or length) to buildings. Some of my favorites are Greek ruins:

The columns at Idaho State University (ISU):

And now my own:

 

I guess I will have to call them my Danish ruins since I'm Danish:

Rugby anyone?

Okay, you might ask yourself "what does rugby have to do with the restoration of an old house"? The answer is simple: "nothing". But our son Tim plays rugby for Old Puget Sound Beach Rugby Football Club (OPSB) which is a charter member of the USA Super League. He had a match in Chicago on April 10 so we could not resist the opportunity to see him play and spend a little time with him. Also our daughter and granddaughter made the trip from PA to visit with us as well. It was a great time visiting loved ones. But as for Chicago, you can keep it. It definitely is not on my list of favorite vacation spots. The souvenir we brought back with us was a piece of old furniture that we got at a yard sell. I think everything is Chicago in probably old. So here are some pictures of the rugby match.

I must say the kid has talent. His first hit he took out three players on the other team, stacking them like dominos. Thanks Tim, Larissa and Araya for the good time we had in Chicago!
