Lesson

Strangers and my best friends always pronounce my name wrong. My birth name, and my company name. No matter how many times I correct. It's kindof silly. So, here is a lesson for you to refer to.

Bernard Hill art show

Rachel and I had a little art show gathering at our home last Thursday. It featured artwork from Brandi, a sweet gal from Boulder CO. Her work was amazing in person, very layered with subtle tones and sweet whispers. Brandon Morgan also had some paintings up, alongside a few pieces and accessories by myself. Of course the upstairs was full of goodies by Rachel. The wine flowed, everyone made new friends, saw old friends, and laughed by the fire in our yard. Oh, and there were marshmallows thanks to Lucy. Here are a few snipits. I hope we have more of these. The environment was juuuuust right. Exactly what I like these days.
