To catch a noon flight in Denver, I have to leave Cheyenne three hours earlier. That's the formula for being on time for your flight when you live in Wyoming. Everything was going fine until my flight got delayed in Denver. I didn't get into Buffalo NY till midnight on the 28th. Luckily, my generous and kind in-laws were willing to collect me and my purple, Geoffrey Beanne suitcases, and head over the Grand Island bridge to their house on the Niagara river. I was in the area for a residency at the Sunny Point studio and cottage on Keuka Lake (more on that in upcoming posts). I grew up in the Buffalo area, so a few days before the residency for visiting family and friends was a must. Some people grow up in great families and some people are doubly blessed to marry into great families. I am that someone! Dave's parent's Al and Dorothy Rowswell and Dave's siblings, Timm, Li-Anne and Alaina , are all a fantastic bonus to marring a wonderful man. Dave's parents raised children with integrity and talents. They in turn married and raised their own wonderful families. The pictures below span the years and events. I hope they give you a sense of the love and fun that ripples through the never ending pond of kindness and care that is the Rowswell family. PS my only problem with marrying into this family is the unusual spelling of our last name. I have had to spell and respell it over the phone, correct it on important documents and one time, after being married for awhile, someone asked me if I was sure it was spelled that way! Well, YES!

This is a true and wonderful statement. The Rowswell family has not only been welcoming to you, but to your siblings, parents, and extended family as well. It's a privilege to know them!

And also, I love this painting of the Grand Island Bridge. What is the medium?
