Evening by Edward Hopper
If I could be a painter I would love to be a lot like Edward Hopper. The emotions of the people he paints are so apparent but at the same time almost….mysterious.

Did you know when you dip sidewalk chalk into liquid starch is turns out pretty cool, and when you dip it in sweetened condensed milk it is even cooler?

This time last week we were relaxing in St. George. It was the first time all four of us had been there and we sure needed the break. When we visit new places we love to enjoy the local nature and visit the beautiful landmark buildings they have in the area. We learn as much [...]

Music brightens our day and immediately changes the mood of our home,
