    We continue to appreciate life deeply but poignantly after the losses of Evan's mom Doris and my Godmother's husband Clarence last fall and despite the uncertainty of an everchanging economy and political environment. Each day, we are grateful for our health, family, friends, and the freedom to make beautiful things and be appreciated for it. Thanks always for your continuing encouragement and being part of our Family.
