Bitter sweet feelings here in Florida!

We arrived in Palm Beach Gardens October 19th, planning to enjoy an uneventful life and staying until mid December, when we would go North for Christmas with family

All of that changed October 28th & 29th with the arrival on the Jersey and Long Island Shores of super storm Sandy.

We were now managing two lives, one here in Florida and the other with the aid of a wonderful family, telephones and computers back on Long Island's South Shore.

We were already committed to two art shows, one, Nov 7th at PGA National Member Club and the other, November 15, at The Lighthouse Art Center in Tequesta. The shows went on !!!!

                                   November 7th at PGA Member's Club Art Show.

                                   We thank all our friends that turned out for this event............

                           On any third Thursday,  its The Lighthouse Arts Center in Tequesta...

Opening night reception and awards presentation.....
