An early birthday present
« on: March 23, 2008, 12:26:00 AM »
Last weekend Nancy (Redbird) and I were down in Tennessee for the TTAS Spring banquet. Jim Bowmans mother-in-law did a painting of my beloved Shrew Haven hunting cabin. Jim gave it to me at the banquet and it blew me away. She did the painting from a photograph and she really captured the serene beauty of the place. It feels like you can almost step right into the painting.

I just wanted to share this with all of you. I was going to put this on the birthday thread but decided to do it this way.

It was nice meeting you and Nancy last weekend Ron. I have seen pics of Shrew Haven on some of your previous post, looks like the kind of place most of us dream of. The painting was very well done. Happy Birthday.

I can see you like the painting but your body language and smile sends an even stronger message about your feelings towards your lovely spouse. May you and Nancy have many more birthdays together and Good Hunting!
