Here I am with The Most Wonderful Husband In The World (yeah, I kinda like him....I think I'll keep him around!) learning to become gourmet Italian chefs at a beautiful villa and winery in the Veneto region of northern Italy. Click Here to find out more about how you, too, can have this unforgettable experience.

And here is a pic of The Most Wonderful Dog In The Whole World, a.k.a. Cosmo. Being a proud dog-mom of 7+ years, my website would not be complete without a picture of my baby boy. He spends many a long and patient hour in the studio with me while I work, sleeping on his favorite chair.

I am grateful and fortunate to live across the street from the beautiful Puget Sound. Each day is like looking at a new and beautiful painting. These pictures were taken from my front patio early this winter.
