I also cooked and tidied up today, but I didn't get a picture so this will have to do. I love painting things with chalk paint. I love doing furniture but it's winter and I it's too cold to work in the garage so I'm keeping it to smaller things that I can do on the table. A child's rocking chair, an interesting basket, a neat candle holder and a picture frame. We're in a risk of frostbite tonight with temps -23C feels like -29! Tomorrow's high is -15 - and we have to go out for dinner.

On the north side of St. Louis there are two towers standing among the decay whose faded paint and isolation belie the critical role they once played in the expansion of the city during its boom years at the turn of the 20th century. Indoor plumbing is the grand purpose these towers served, bricks and plaster encasing monolithic stand pipes, somehow able to rally sentiment over purpose and remain despite the forces that have encircled them and decimated still useful structures in their vicinity.
The giant white column in this photo is an old standpipe water tower, one of three in St. Louis and supposedly one of only seven that remain in the entire country. It is also the largest Corinthian column in the entire world.
And it is just a wonderful, wonderful structure. Every time I see it, all I can think is a gleeful "What the hell? Why a giant giant column? Why that big? Why there?"
Adding to the awe of this thing is that it has managed to survive for so long. Surely one of the main factors influencing its preservation has been its sheer size and solidness--too hard and costly to tear it down, so even the most hardheaded, beauty-hatin' bean counters have had to let it stay.
May it stand for years and years and years and years and years to come.
(What a strange monument!)

The 18th green of The Greenbrier's "Old White" course...home of the PGA's new FedEx Cup Tourney next year through 2015 (replacing The Buick). This was where Sam Snead called home...the winningest golfer in PGA history...even Tiger has a way to go to catch him for Tour wins. Check out that undulation in the green's center!! Your shot into this green must cross the beautiful Greenbrier River and if you look close in this photo, you can see a Heron searching for dinner. This will be a fantastic setting for PGA golf and has already hosted a historic Ryder Cup.
The sweetie draw is for children only, no adults allowed!

A memorial to the original building which was demolished in the 1920s, supposedly under protest, due to fire codes. They called the old building "Old White," but I think you can refer to this building as "Old White," now too, since it is rather old these days.
This is the "back" of the building, but it's really on the side.
If the flowers look a little tatty, it was because they were about to dig them up and plant new ones.
1858 - 1922
Here stood a famous hostelry
affectionately known as
"THE OLD WHITE"
Once the pride of the old dominion
whose gracious hospitality, beautiful
surroundings and healing waters gained
national renown and made it the object
of many a pilgrmage.
Here gathered from the north and south
great generals, famous statesmen and
philanthropists, lovely ladies and
reigning belles "who left upon the silent
shore of memory images and precious
thoughts that shall not die, and
cannot be destroyed"
Erected by its successor
The Greenbrier
1940
