Now Gary has to walk to work every day–twenty feet.

An answer to prayer was moving Gary's shop to our house in December. Our landlord converted a shed into a great studio! All we said was "Would it be OK to fix this shed up so Gary can weld here?" and suddenly they were cleaning it out and putting in new windows and doors and walls and lights and electric wiring and on and on. We are truly thankful.

Thanks to Gary and Sheree who built the shop for Gary!

Thanks to our friends who helped move the shop, especially Jim, who put up with Gary at his place for six years!

Gary was honored to be the featured artist for Brukner Nature Center's "Art of Nature" annual fundraising event. It was a wonderful evening for a wonderful cause; a privately funded nonprofit nature preserve that has provided many sweet memories for our family. Gary and I had the chance to meet supporters of the nature center and talk to them about his art. This little screech owl is one of the center's ambassadors. If you've never been to Brukner, please check out the link their site on our "Things you might like" page.

You can see their website on our links page. He was awarded Second Place for "Sticking the Landing"(the owl landing on a branch). Also in the show are "Keep Your Hands Off Me" and a "Cocker Spaniel Puppy". I wanted to call it "Cocker Spooniel" but our sixteen-year-old couldn't handle it. The show runs from June 3 to July 25.
