Experiences like that are what make our country strong. Building self-esteem through hard work and seeing positive results of your work. Having pride in what you do.

This is the local electrician’s shop. When I was a girl one of the electricians in our town was named Shocky. Even though I was too young to have known him I never forgot because I thought it was such a funny name.

This pattern was created about 6 years ago and I was just thinking about how the volume of written communication through the mail has gone down. I’m sure this is true for New Zealand. I wonder if that means fewer post boxes? I like to imagine all the love letters that have passed through these quaint post boxes.

Today’s block is a “caravan” dealership. Another one of those references to names from the commonwealth nations. I talked to someone tonight that visited the south island of New Zealand and said there were little campers like this everywhere.

I imagine this little pocket park has beautifully sculpted flower beds. Like the ones in the nearby town of Winter Park. Their flowers are so beautiful every summer.

This block made me think of my husband too because he treated our town’s water for 32 years. I thought this would make a perfect water treatment building. Think how this building would fit into a Dr. Suess story. A hose could attach to the spigot and water could come out and put out fires. Can you tell four of my young grandchildren live with me?

Custom tables by Jon. I don’t know a “Jon,” I just thought it would make a good name on the sign. I’ll say again, I’m using Pigma MIcron pens by Sakura Size 01. This is a fanciful little shop and I can imagine all kinds of tables being made here. My Grandmother had some lovely things, among them several little tables.

Here is the neighborhood mechanic. You know the guy you trust your car with. Most of us have a relationship with our mechanic. There was a time when service stations were NOT self service and someone came out and pumped your gas, washed your windshield and checked your oil.

This little corner park has a little grove of trees. I can imagine walking paths taking a shortcut through the park. It would have shade in the summer and I can see people kicking off their sandals to feel the cool grass between their toes. Mothers out to shop pushing strollers stop there with snacks for their kids.

I love the pink door, I’m certain there are pastel macarons in glass cases with other french pastries. You can have a latte or cappuccino with dessert.

This little block was confusing at first to me. What is a Panel Beater? I’ve learned that Auto Body shops are called that in some commonwealth countries. The designer is from
New Zealand, a commonwealth country. It tickled me so.
Block-A-Day 13 – The Warehouse
by Tina | Jan 13, 2021 | Block-A-Day | 0
Today we have a warehouse. Not a super exciting building. However, it has an interesting shaped roof, rounded like a Quonset hut set on top. This would allow for offices on a third floor perhaps accessible by an elevator that can carry people or freight from different floors to the loading dock in the back.
