A Very Nice Surprise

Blake's sister Darlou is a very talented and accomplished artist.  She lives with her husband, Nathan and kids Garin and and Alia in Hampton, NH.  They came home for a visit in November.  Blake was able to pick them up at the SLC airport, and then take them back when it was time for them to go home. He was also able to get some help for Alia's sore toe. It was really good to see them.  Well, on Tuesday we received a package from Darlou!  




It was this painting!  This picture turned out a little fuzzy, but you can see what a nice picture it is. We love it!  She painted it from a photo she took on a previous visit to Idaho.  It was taken somewhere near where Blake grew up.  



We decide to hang it above the fireplace.  I think it looks really nice there.  Thank you so much, Darlou!  We feel very special to have one of your originals!
