make our lives worthwhile.  Calm.  Sweet.  The same feeling that painting provides for me, actually.  Love that knows no boundaries.  For those who grace our table and for those not present this year for whom our love crosses many many miles.....California, Louisiana and North Carolina. 

May you live each day in the merriest of ways.  (from a card sent to us by the Laakso family)

We had quite a few guests over the Christmas holiday....our sons from California, our son from Virginia, their lovely wives, our new grandson.....and....snow!  Those who live in San Francisco relish the opportunity to see snow...feel snow...and enjoy the feeling that this season provides.  This is, after all, the yard in which they grew up....running, hooping-it-up, raking, and gathering.  The mood was all-important here...the feeling that this scene emits.  Values in the mid-range help to tell the gauze-like story of the gray day.  Guests....
