Reviews are illustrative for this sample site.
Mom has painted more this year than in the twenty before it. Her watercolours of the Blue Ridge now hang in the hallway outside the studio.
The last-Sunday supper has become our family's standing date. The grandchildren ask about it before they ask about anything else.
