Tiny Dancer…Natural Photographer
I’ve believed for a long while now that I’ve passed on my creative spirit to both my children. If you’ve read this blog for any length of time you know a great deal about Ben’s endeavors into painting and drawing. His creativity has also manifested itself in so many different ways as he [...]

Face 2 Face With Another PKS Family
I will never regret traveling to a disappointing art show Thanksgiving weekend 2007. As always I learned more about the business of selling art (like checking to make sure the most popular pop star isn’t scheduled to play the venue where I’m working), I met even more talented [...]

Happy HalloweenFrom Lightening “Ben” McQueen!
I sure do wish I could take credit for the costume but it was all nurse Lisa’s idea, creation, painting, and assembly! She did an absolutely brilliant job! Ben obviously would’ve won best costume at his school had they not done the judging before he arrived this morning (like many [...]

EdVenture First Weekend Memories
Ben is ready to work! Although it appears he’s looking up at his surroundings he is actually doing something we’ve always found interesting while he thinks. He’s actually trying to figure out where the paint is because I’m still setting up the display table. I bet he’s thinking “Dad [...]

Hope Floats
“Childhood is what you spend the rest of your life trying to overcome. That’s what mama always says.

Get on the Bus
As I said yesterday even though Ben’s first bus ride was rather uneventful for him it turned out to be a a rather emotional trip for Mom & Dad. And as was the case the other two days our son attended school last week, Ben had a ball! Literally. [...]
