Learning the Streets of Wilsonia

The Cabins of Wilsonia will be arranged alphabetically by street name. That is the same order in which I have been drawing all these cabins in pencil.

This is on Whitney. Now I’m on Willow Street. Willow Lane? Willow Road?

“Street” to me implies town or city. I think these “streets” should be called “roads” or “lanes”. Some are, some aren’t. It is getting on time to figure each of them out.

I wonder if I can name them all in order. Here goes:

Alta, Brewer, Cedar, Chinquapin, Fern, Fir, Grant, Hazel, Hillcrest, Kaweah, Laurel, LeConte, Lilac, Lily, Lupine, Manzanita, Mason, Palisades, Park, Pine, President’s, Sierra, Tehipite, Whitney, Willow.

Now I will look at my book design and see which ones I missed. I’m sure i will make me scream.

ARRRRRRUGGGGGGGGHHHH!

Goddard. Deepest apologies. You contain the cabin of the folks who used to own my home in Three Rivers.
Meadow! What is the matter with me? I can see it from the cabin where I have stayed twice. (Never mind the fact that it only officially contains one cabin. . .)                                           Tyndall, how could I forget Tyndall?? I think I actually drew a cabin on Tyndall before I even did my book on the cabins of Mineral KIng. Plus, I know a kid (male child) named after this peak.

Once I begin working on the computer design, perhaps I will be able to name them all. Meanwhile, 25 of 28 isn’t too shabby.

    Jana,
    I have enjoyed looking at your recent drawings and have appreciated all of your comments/frustrations without the payback of telling you how much I admire your relentless work ethic. It is time for me to cheer you on! You are doing such a great job and with Christmas coming faster and faster and all your other activities, I don’t know how you are keeping on schedule. I love today’s post. It is very familiar and you have made it look so inviting. If it were not snowy up there, I would drive up, walk onto the porch, open the umbrella and invite you to join me for a cup of tea.

    I am sending a hug of appreciation along with wishes for a wonderful Christmas,
    Love,
    Pat

      Oh Pat, how kind of you to encourage me! I will not be making my deadline of December 31, 2013, but as of today, there are 20 drawings remaining to be completed. So happy you were able to recognize today’s drawing!

      I wrote you a note and addressed it from my memory. Alas, it was returned to me! It said that I went to the symphony and heard that you will be honored at an event in May. Wow! Made me feel proud to be the friend of such a great lady, and I just wrote to say congratulations!

      A hug back to you with warm wishes for a Merry Christmas.

      love,
      Jana
