May is our favorite Month!

It's finally May! Out of the 12 months, May is our favorite.

Why you might ask?  Well it's easy...

May 1st is our Anniversary!  Tricia and I have been married and working together as a team for 27 years now.  And while the marriage part is just as easy as the day we said 'I do', the working together part can have it's ups and downs.  We definitely have our own 'lanes' we work in: I get the 'dirty' work - heavy lifting, sharp blades and sawdust.  And she get the more refined jobs - sketching, designing and painting.  We occasionally veer into each other's side of the road, and I have absolutely *no* idea what she's got going on in the paint mixing department, but absent the minor design disputes it works out just fine.

May is our favorite for another couple of reasons.  One is Mother's Day, and the other is Memorial Day.

For this Mother's Day Tricia took over and curated some of our work that she wouldn't mind having on the wall or table somewhere. Since she's had to live with me and our two boys for the last few decades giving her the wheel to pick some favorites seemed the least I could do.  Well that and get her something nice to go on the wall.  No vacuum cleaners or other small household appliances. Flowers are nice, but artwork is forever!
