The Tea House

Did another painting. I call this one the Tea House.  Give it a click to make it bigger.

The New Grill

This weekend, I cooked for the first time on my new grill, a Big Green Egg. The egg is a distinctive green ceramic grill, designed for both BBQ, and smoked meats. It cooks everything from steak-house style porterhouse to a tender brisket, turkey or pork tenderloin. Even pizza's!

I bought the table as a kit and put it together, so that I might have a service area when I grill. I think we'll be doing a lot of grilling this summer.

Even Chris wants to try his hand at cooking on the Green Egg!

Slew-foot Sue and Pecos Bill

Hi all. Pat here with another paint project. Recently, my mom told me she had a conversation with my niece Margie Galligan; and Margie told her she wished Uncle Pat would paint her a picture. So I asked her, thinking she'd say Frozen, or Pocahontas, or some other Disney princess.

Not Margie, she boldly proclaimed, Slew-foot Sue and Pecos Bill!  And the rest, as they say, is history!

Cottage with Well.
