my wonderful son works in computers outside DC. one of his friends is a graphic designer that is giving me a BIG discount because of my son.

i like it more than the one i made. 

 

i haven't paid for the logo yet so i am only posting it for my friends here for now. ( printing at office depot $10.96)

(he did not include the word "arts" in this first draft but i will have one with a black background as well and that will be the next banner)

we live on a property in a very very small township called "Olive" (12 houses and 2 churches).  my wife and  78yo mother -in- law (mom) grew up here, 

it was owned for 80 years before i moved here by the "Rose" family. it is to honor 2 fantastic women and those that came before me.

my wife got me started in scrolling... she is my rose that bares no thorns.

 

thank you for asking marge. (that's us in my profile pic.)

no stores out here. 6 miles to 2 dollar generals , just depends if i turn left or right out of my driveway. 13 miles to fast food that i don't eat anymore. 

here is the old house

it was almost 100yo when we had to tear it down with structural problems.

old house blue roof (gone now)... new house black roof.

my mom (in law) keeps her curtains  closed so she cant see where the old house was.

and here is ALL of olive... lol

this is the first place u have ever lived that "feels" like home.

I  grew up in Portland, Oregon and was a total city boy. I remained living in that area until 2002 when my wife and I moved to a small town in Eastern Oregon. I was a little reluctant to the idea of being so far from all the conveniences I was used to having whenever I needed some supplies for a project I was working on or just having a lot of choices for eating out, etc. What I quickly learned from Heppner, was the conveniences and surrounding beauty that was located a short distance from where we lived, (unlike the dessert and lack of the beautiful trees and closeness to the Pacific Ocean), was not what was really important in life, rather it is community that counts. The people in small towns depend on one another for support, caring, help in time of need. It is like going back a century ago where everyone knows each other and most of the families that live around them. People trust people, because they actually know them. Heppner was this way. People left the keys in their vehicles because it was convenient. I remember going on vacation for a couple of weeks and the house was left unlocked the extra car still had the keys in the ignition. This is what rural life is like. If someone has a family member that is stricken with bad health , like cancer, the community jumps into action and puts on a fund raiser where other donate items for auction and a big meal where all the profits go to the family to help with medical care or whatever they need it for. That is only a small part of little town mentality. I totally understand that. I know why you would rather drive a few miles to get groceries or go to a doctor appointment. The most beautiful thing is YOUR COMMUNITY.
