The Presidio

---

Imagine being stationed here in San Francisco’s Presidio…or see here for more military history. I don’t know exactly what they used this house for in the beginning, senior enlisted or lower ranked officer housing, but it leases for a high sum these days. 2010.

Himself: Slept in, did photos and blog, and then did little but play games. Took stuff for test and was up and down all night. Test at 3. Herself: Processed Fair images, posted blog, went back to the Ducky time and found the blogs unreadable. Started changing font sizes from Jan 07 and still working on it. Size 1 is not a readable font size. Gratitude: Reading the Duck posts again. He was the best example of how to age with dignity that I have ever seen.

Both G and I were charmed by the idea of living at the Presidio, and being stationed at this beautiful place. Yes, fogs, but yes too some of the most beautiful scenery in the world right next to an equally beautiful city. This would have been one of the best bases in the army to be stationed. Today it is a very popular but expensive place to live. When it was first opened to lease, the old nurses quarters were $700.00 a month per room. Imagine these many years later how much the spaces go for.

We understand military bases, and we were charmed.



I did my training in brick buildings like these, and I lived in one of these at Fort Benjamin Harrison….now a historic district. Hot in the summer and cold in the winter. There wasn’t a wool blanket known, both above and below me that would get me warm. Why I remember these old brick buildings with fondness, I do not know.



Look at that….officers housing, a duplex, and it has a breakfast room.



And right across the street……



Whadda view!
