Saying Goodbye

Seems like 2019 is stacking up to be a page turner. First big page turned was me leaving teaching and now the closing of Doc Holliday’s. Today is the last day of business for Doc’s. I haven’t said much about this because to be honest it hurts. I loved this little store and all it gave to me. The friendships are abundant from the past 4 years.

Others need a week in the shop to get it back to where it needs to be so I can paint it. Then there are those creative pieces you make from this and that. Sometimes I find a piece that grabs my creative heart and...
