The Confederation Table is a golden-hued oak and basswood library or refectory table constructed circa 1837 to 1864 in a Victorian Gothic Revival style.
The Saskatchewan Legislative Building was built between 1908 and 1912 in the Beaux Arts style to a design by Edward and William Sutherland Maxwell of Montreal. The Maxwells also supervised construction of the building by the Montreal company P. Lyall & Sons, who later built the Centre Block of the federal Parliament Building in Ottawa after the 1866 Parliament Building was destroyed by fire in 1916. Piles began to be drilled for the foundations during the autumn of 1908 and in 1909 the Governor General of Canada, the Earl Grey, laid the cornerstone. In 1912, Prince Arthur, Duke of Connaught, by then the serving governor general, inaugurated the building.

The design contemplates expansion of the building by the addition of wings extending south from the east and west ends and coming together to form a courtyard. The plans originally called for the exterior of the building to be red brick but after construction had begun and red bricks were already on the site, Premier Walter Scott decided that Manitoba Tyndall stone would give the building greater grandeur and the plans were adjusted with the substitution increasing the building cost by $50,000. The total cost of construction came to $1.75 million by the time of its opening in October 1912, ten months after the assembly had begun meeting in the yet-uncompleted building.
Of historical significance, the table that was used during the meeting of the Fathers of Confederation in Quebec City in 1864 resides in the building's library, albeit with six feet of it removed. Lieutenant-Governor Edgar Dewdney of the North-West Territories brought the table to Regina, which was the capital of the territory at the time. It was used in the offices of the Indian commissioner for Manitoba and the North-West Territories until 1896. Six feet of the table length was removed from the middle so that it could fit within the limited confines of the Prince Edward Building, the temporary home of the Legislative Assembly of Saskatchewan while the Saskatchewan Legislative Building was under construction.

A very small cafe in Menerbes, France, with just one street side table (for breakfast at least). HSS (Pacific Standard Time)!

We were out hiking the back edge of our property today, there are several deep Arroyo's with many natural sculptured features. This is my wife sipping a drink at what we call "Table Rock". Above her is a beautiful meadow, and I'm standing 40 ft below in the Arroyo. Some of the Arroyo's are easily 60 ft deep and narrow. When the monsoon rains come every year the water flows can be treacherous, deep, and a real torrent. There are Arroyo's all over the foothills of the Spanish Peak mountains. This rock over hundreds of years or more, was eroded all around creating the table like structure.
Few from our Christmas Day celebrations with the family, excuse our messy kitchen, always the hub of everything here. I always add table toys to keep everyone amused, we had so many races with the wind-ups, Charlie ate at least three on the day!! Hope you all had a wonderful day.
This is the Kuhfluchtwasserfälle (waterfall) in Farchant at the foot of the Zugspitze mountain. This image is the halfway up point. The top of the falls will be posted later.
There were so many different levels to this waterfall but this was my personal favorite.
I hope you enjoy it.
the collection of things on my dressing table, are often played with by my three little girls and they had left it all just like this.
Chip looks like he is waiting patiently for more peanuts to arrive on the picnic table.
