SOME PICS OF THE TAO HOUSE..EUGENE ONEILL HOUSE..THE PLAYWRIGHT
AND NOBEL PRIZE WINNER FOR LITERATURE!!

Why i am putting the pictures of the Tao House up is because i too write books as explain

lower in this blog and Eugene Oneill, like me was a Danville resident and i just wanted to

show you this national Pak and you can visit it by calling the Eugene Oneill Society.The

number is on the Linkt that i have posted below. Here is some quick facts on Eugene Oneill and

the Tao House

-Eugene Oneill and his wife Carlotta built the Tao House and lived there from 1937-1944.

-He wrote 6 plays there including "A Moon for the Misbegotten", "The Iceman Cometh"

and "A Long Day's Journey Into Night" among others.

-Many scholars believe that Eugene Oneill along with Shakespeare and Shaw, was one of the three greatest playwrights in the English-speaking world.

-Eugene Oneill recieved 4 pullisers prizes for his writing and still the only American Playwright

to recieve the Nobel Prize for literature!

-Eugene Oneill and Carlotta purchased land in the San Ramon valley, above what is now Danville in 1937. They put down $15,000.00 deposit for 158 acres which was part of an old Spanish Land

Here is my house-------------->>>>>>

my kitties..tiggra and Tabitha..ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Above are the pics of Casa De Bonita, the name of my house since i am a book writer and then hopefully like my fellow Danville writer Eugene O'Neil. I will have my books published one day and then be able to name my house, like he did with his, in the Tao house! Dream on huh!

I moved into Casa De Bonita in 1997 and have done several extra additions including planting a whole different garden in, with all tropical plants including Banana trees, Caladuims, 3 types of

canna's, Alocasia(2 types), Philodendrons, Cyathea, Heliconias, Musa, Strelitzia (The Bird of Paradise),Sword Ferns, Boston Ferns, Silver Lady Ferns, 4 types of Lilies, Royal Palms, Queen Palms, Mexican Fan Palms, Bamboo(2 types), Australian Tree Ferns, New Zealand Tree Ferns

and alot more....I am planning on planting even more tropical plants later on in the spring and take out the last non tropical bush from my backyard and put my wood bench and more Queen palms, Tree Ferns and Alocasias(Elephant Ears) there where the bush was, maybe a small fountain also.

I have also put new wooden floors in the kitchen and dining area and added some extra security lights in the backyard. My next big project after getting the big bush in the back out and then

replaced with what i want there, will be my Attrium job. I am planning on getting rid of two walls and opening the living room area with an open wall library on just two sides with book shelves to the wall on those two sides, a desk/chair and a lounge chair for reading. You can tell by the pictures of part of my library, i need more space for my books and i am always getting new books to read and keep in my library. I will be closing off my Attruim with an sundome , so the sunlight can still get in while it is sunny out. The outside backyard job and the Attruim job will be the last two things i will need to do for awhile on the house!

My library includes literature from authors such as Shakespeare, Kipling, Frost, Steinbeck, Hemingway, London, Twain, Hawthorne, Austen, Dickens, Forster, Jules, H.G Wells, Mr Poe, Muhlbach, Voltaire, Plato, Socrates, Carroll, Milton, Dumas, Thoreau, Sinclair, Hobbes, Humes,

Locke, Longfellow, Hugo, Milton, Scott, just to name just a few of the many pieces of literatures

i have in books!

I also have quite a collection of history books and nature/fauna/flora and Amazon/tropical rainforest books along with books on mammals, reptiles and pretty much any type of things to do with nature including several of Darwin and Mr Spencer! I ADORE a good sci-fi book so i

have alot of those in both paperback and hard back books!
