After 30 months, we finally have some handles and drawer fronts in the kitchen.  13 now done, 11 in process in the shop, and 4 drawers yet to be started.  Maple veneer with solid cherry edging.  Cherry will darken in time.  Much easier to open the drawers.

Mizuho has been busy with covering the chabakos with fabric.  Beautiful!

Managed to get in a ski day at Silverstar,

but have mostly been busy with vehicle shopping as we will need to say goodbye to our super fun 335, and shopping for new speakers (my 40 year old speakers have literally fallen apart as the speaker cones have disintegrated). Should have updates next month.  Found the following in one of our boxes.  It is a handmade umbrella (bamboo, wire, tape and plastic sheeting) that was common in Seoul when I first went there in the 1980s.  It cost about $1 at the time.  A bit fragile but very well made.
