We lost our little guy to congestive heart failure July 11th. We will surely miss him.

My house renovations are taking up most of my time, not to mention the shop area being unusable while we re-route wires and plumbing. See you in the summer. Thanks, Karl

Hi - My name is Pat. I am a retired nurse (still working though) and a breast cancer survivor of nearly 8 years. During my recovery, I was inspired to start painting and I love exploring this newly found creative force in my life. Because I am a self taught "artist" with no formal training, I have painted for pleasure and to give as gifts. However, I have been encouraged to go more "public". So this is my first offering of some of my work. All of my paintings are original and can be sold as such or I can closely duplicate an original for you. An original could also be painted from either a picture or an idea you may have. Original paintings make great personal gifts. I have done them for wedding gifts, for friends birthdays related to something that person likes and for my grandchildren. I would be happy to hear any comments. Thanks for viewing.

I have started some major renovations to our house.

This is going to be a garden wall. Both inside and outside faces are finished. It is built with mortar as opposed to the curved wall which was laid up "dry" - no mortar.

Took three of our grand daughters to see the Blue Angels perform. Fantastic show!
