We validated, and drove away.

The road, winding, curving, swooping, sweeping views and bristling cypress trees along both edges, took us to the villa.

The Villa of No Concern.

A lovely brick and marble creation I designed seven years ago.

It looked like a 200 year old building, in a good way.

A good way? Yes, quality and solidity of materials.

Unlike the “garden-shed” construction, trembly, and not at all soundproof multi-million dollar homes in California. Heaped as they are one, ear-splitting few feet from each other.

So good that good things are still created. A legacy and treasure for future generations.
