Nestled in DuPont, we found a bastion of caffeination on our trip to the Washington coast. We stretched our legs and perused Starbucks' "Gold Star Membership" literature. Half of my mocha was gone before the "Rewards" education ended. Since we were hopped up on stimulants, we felt motivated to draw out landscaping plans for the house. Optimistic plans for future projects prevent despair at the tedium of our current shingling process.
My lacking drafting skills became more apparent as the landscape developed. Clint, a structural engineer, directed my lackluster ability to set objects to scale. The basketball hoop does not actually dwarf the trees, and the garage is not the same size as the house. My curving brick pathway, however, would elicit praise from any kindergarten teacher. With an oddly large car randomly added--viola--our landscape was complete. At least the sketch. So, yes, Starbucks, you may buy us a drink. But we'll need something stronger than coffee.
