I have MS degrees in education and recreation therapy,but art and the outdoors are my passion. I have always enjoyed art and have dabbled in various media over the years:drawing,colored pencil,watercolor,pottery,Sumi-e,and most recently collage. I am intrigued by the way the patterns of the papers blend together to create a watercolor effect. Often I am surprised at the way a paper actually behaves. The textures and brilliant colors found in the various papers lend themselves to the creation of super-realistic landscapes. Some of the papers “talk” to me;I see a tree trunk,fall foliage,mountains,sand dunes,a field of flowers,sky or water in the qualities of a sheet of paper. Sometimes the reverse side of a paper provides an entirely different effect. The inspiration for my work comes from my love of nature that I enjoy while I’m hiking and backpacking here in Washington and all over the world.

to Heal for LifeThe Healing Power is Within 
by Dr. Halanna B. Matthew Suffering,pain,war,violence,and disease are rampant in our world today. Everyone is searching for a cure,a remedy,or a way to heal so they can be freed of the discomfort of illness. A good part of what is considered as aging is not aging but disease. A lack of knowledge is leading humanity towards a life of tragedy,unhappiness,and sickness. Read more Book Signing:The Fast Way to Heal for Life 12/7 11-2pm …
Some of our favorite combinations from this past year.  We order a limited number of range-raised turkeys from Diestel Turkey Ranch in Sonora,California,which are processed to order, flash-frozen, and delivered direct to us the week before Thanksgiving and Christmas. These birds are frozen only on the exterior, so the interior stays fresh without requiring a long defrost time.
We will start taking pre-orders for Turkeys on Saturday,December 1,2012. Please place your turkey order with a cashier at the checkout stand. A $5 deposit (non-refundable) is required. Pick up begins Friday, December 14, 2012. Please let any cashier know when you arrive, then they can find your turkey whilst you do your other shopping. Read more Diestel Turkeys for the Holidays … |
