Our Seattle Winter of '06 Trip




We bought this beautiful basket from this craftsman and it now occupies a prominent spot in our kitchen.


Munch, munch, munch...........lovely picture, don't you think?


"Well we could go here or we could go there....what do you think we should do"?


Once again we experienced nothing but warm sun filled days in the middle of winter while visiting in Seattle. We're getting to think people talk so much about winter rain in the northwest just to keep people "from away"....just that, away. Actually, it was a wonderful visit and we can't wait to return.

Frank Goes to College

My good friend Alan Albright and I found this wonderful college campus in Lakeland, Florida in mid January '06. Moving in and around Frank Lloyd Wright's buildings put me in some sort of time warp. It was a very pleasant feeling, satisfying actually. I sensed I was there and it was in the mid 1950's. The 50's was the time when Wright's architectural style had a profound influence on my sense of design. ron burke
