Our daughters, Miranda and Moriah, recently purchased their first home together and have worked tirelessly to make it move-in ready. Congratulations! As many of you know, Moriah is an artist, and this house was the childhood home of local artist: Emily Clayton Bishop. Emily's work is on display at the Smithsonian in Washington DC.

OUR RESPONSE TO COVID-19 Quite unexpectantly, our lives have all changed. We are celebrating 25 years of business, and we've weathered quite a few storms: 9/11 in 2001, our son's accident in 2005, the economic recession from 2008-2014, and now a worldwide pandemic.
