Are you sitting comfortably then I'll continue...

When we were last here ,we left Glenda, The Engineer and his adorable wife admiring the wonderful house The Engineer had built!

"We need to make a deal Engineer" said Glenda, "this house isn't finished, I need a door"

"Oh Glenda" the Engineer sighed "I really think I should be moving onto to something more constructive with my time"

Suddenly Glenda the good witch didn't look so good anymore, her eyes changed color and she looked a bit more bad!

"Why Glenda, what Green eyes you have" said the Engineer.

With that she turned her wand onto the unsuspecting Daisy Dog...


 "Either I get a door, or the paw gets it"


Wait"" cried the Engineer, he rushed into his workshop and a while later she had a door..


But then Glenda declared "the house isn't finished I need windows"

"Oh Glenda" the Engineer sighed "I really think I should be moving onto to something more constructive with my time"

Suddenly Glenda the good witch didn't look so good anymore, her eyes changed color and she looked a bit more bad!

"Why Glenda, what Green eyes you have" said the Engineer.
 
"Give me windows" cried Glenda "or the tail gets it"
 
 
"Wait" cried the Engineer, he rushed into his workshop and a while later she had windows..


Glenda paused for a while and considered her house, she seemed to be pleased and her eyes returned to the blackest of black they had always been.

But then with a shout she cried "it's still not finished, it must have The Sign"

"Oh Glenda" the Engineer sighed "I really think I should be moving onto to something more constructive with my time"

Suddenly Glenda the good witch didn't look so good anymore, her eyes changed color and she looked a bit more bad!

"Why Glenda, what Green eyes you have" said the Engineer.

"Make me the sign or the precious pink nose get's it" she cried..


"Wait" cried the Engineer, he rushed into his workshop and a while later she had The Sign..

 
They all stood back and admired the house, peace and calm seemed to fall over the scene and finally Glenda declared "I can confirm this house is perfect"..
 
 
 
Here endeth the tale of the good (or not so much) witch Glenda, The Engineer and his adorable wife, who as far as we know all lived happily ever after!
 
THE END

Are you sitting comfortably then I'll begin.....

Once upon a time in a far off distant town on the Southern Oregon Coast there lived a retired Aircraft Engineer and his adorable wife!

One day about a year ago they were visited by Glenda, the good witch of the West!


Who declared to the Engineer that she needed somewhere to live!  Glenda spent months visiting various parts of the property before coming to rest on top of the power pole where she declared...

"'tis here, this is where I want to reside"


The Engineer and Glenda had some design meetings and once in agreement a model was made.....


Then the Engineer set to work, he created the frame around the power pole...
 
 
And then he added some roofing felt, Glenda needs to keep her hat dry....


Glenda said to the Engineer "I want it clad in Cedar, it must be clad in Cedar, Cedar is the only cladding for me"...


 
So Cedar it is.......

 
Next Glenda said "I will need a tower, where will I keep the princesses if I don't have a tower?"
 
BUT the Engineer said "Aren't you a good witch? why would you need somewhere to keep the princesses"
 
Glenda blushed and quietly confirmed "I am a good witch, but I DO still need a tower"
 

So the tower was framed.....

And put into place where Glenda cried "I love it, you are a genius, from up here I can see for miles around"...


This wonderful creation is coming together and this story will be continued next week.....
