Our friend, Joan, in California created a lovely silk quilt for us. We were able to chose the colors and approve the design but this is a true expression of her artistic and sewing talents. The rhythm, flow and fine craftwork is all her. Beautiful in all aspects! And, in case you are interested, she takes commissions!

22,000 married couples are now in legal limbo with their rights removed. Had we still lived in California this would be us.

Same sex marriage rights are civil rights. Religious blacks, Mormons, Orthodox Jews and the Christian right joined forces to help defeat Prop 8. Now it can be said these groups have their hate in common.

Clearly there will be struggle to claim this needed change. We invite all to examine their own views on what love means.

Sponsored by Target. Is the independent artist independent? Outsmarting the corporate entity that is using his work by creating a discussion around artistic integrity? Blind to all but ego and enjoying new fame as a pop artist? Provocative and original?

We're getting a kick out of this ball and have visited it now in several locations. You decide.

Summer in Chicago has official begun with a sizable hail attack. Seriously, these nuggets were the size of large hommeny and we felt like we were on the inside of a tin with coins being shaken around. -Brian

We're having another gathering of garden folks. Good cheer to be had by all. I am told the Black Beetle is a nice place with appetizers and drinks. Hope you'll join us! If you have any questions, feel free to contact me.
