No title 2008-04-20 21:06:00 I have gorgeous gigantic purple iris blooming in the yard now for the second year in a row. My neighbor gave me the bulbs a couple of years ago and I planted them and forgot them. Last year I had a few blooms and made a nice painting that quickly sold so this year I wanted to be sure to paint them again. One is a commission for a neighbor and the other one will be available.

Lot for Sale 2008-05-05 12:15:00 The town of Seligman, AZ a stop on old Route 66A photo of the propertyI'm selling my 2 acre lot in Bridge Canyon subdivision in Seligman Arizona. It's a beautiful piece of property. The elevation is about 5,600 feet. It's a level lot with beautiful pinon pine trees. Nice straight dirt roads to the property about 6 miles outside of Seligman.

I've never heard so much laughter at a funeral service. He often wore colorful sashes and wore one the day he married Dan and me. We found out at the service that his colleagues called him Cornie

I painted it for my personal collection to have as a record of my four wonderful horses.
