Hidden In Plain View
The new gallery show at Graham Gallery features an artist we haven’t seen before in this area, Patric Jernigan. He lives in Plainview, Texas.

It is called “The Book of Hidden Things”.
Nice Day for a Green Wedding
This is the season for beautiful summer weddings. Long flowing white gown, tuxes, cut flowers, special food & drink, and guests traveling from all over to share the day.

Sammy, Come Home!
Our 4th of July holiday this year got off on the wrong foot. Things initially started out really well as we attended a fireworks display the night of the 3rd. However, about an hour after our arrival home, we knew something wasn’t quite right. Our dog Sammy was missing.
