Praise for a new restaurant

Yesterday, I was fortunate enough to get away from the shop for a few hours to go on a bike ride.
Mary O'Donnell (she owns Mary's Closet) asked me if I'd like to go for a bike ride with her and a couple of friends. They go once a week around Presque Isle Park and then stop somewhere different each week for a bite to eat.

This time we went to COCO's (formerly The Shores Restaurant) and had an outstanding meal. I had the Chicken Ashley. It was amazing! The other girls had Salmon, and they did love their dinner too!

Definately going back soon!!!

This video link is about a custom picture framer in Carson City, NV who fell very ill and almost lost her frame shop. A group of framers from around the world have stepped forward to help her.

Our newest frames

We have a bunch of new (and very cool) frames to choose from.

Other than that, I have been back to painting on light switch plates. Again, I'll post some pics soon, hee, hee.
