Mt. Shasta gave us these wonderful sights.

The flowers of spring are part of the Trinity Alps.  Alleys of dogwood, carpets of poppy & lupine, curtains of azaleas...

Trinity County has them all!

The Hotel & Restaurant offers lodging & great food.  The Rental Cabins & B&B's are excellent places to stay while you fish the Trinity River.

This stretch of river offers some of the finest fly fishing, salmon and steelhead fishing ever.

Our experience with the Heilman Pastel Box8  

continues to develop and grow.   

The new Oil Box is working well!   

We've had many great experiences 

and are meeting wonderful artists 

through this venture.  The greatest 

pleasure of all is to have the boxes be 

so useful and easy to use for new and 

master artists alike...in the field, 

studio or workshop! 

We've seen it do its work and allow artists

to be up and painting quickly and with 

security for their palettes and paints!

RIB TICKLERS     

What would spring be without St. Patrick's day and the celebration of the shamrock, luckiest of all charms!!  I ran across these words which seem very fitting.

"Blarney is the secret weapon of the Irish. 

They have enough stockpiled to last them

until Judgment Day, at which time they will all

be judged by "impartial" St. Patrick and

allowed into the Kingdom of Heaven, it is said."

Irish Toasts are gentle and warm, often laced with humor, reflecting hopes to live long & happy lives...and to go on to a still happier life in Heaven by beating the Devil to the draw.

 

"May the saddest day of the future be no worse than the happiest day of the past!"

 

 

"May there always be work for your hands to do. May your purse always hold a coin or two.    May a rainbow be certain to follow each rain.  May the hand of a friend always be near you.  May God fill your heart with gladness and cheer you!"

 

"As you slide down the banister of life may the splinters never face the worng way!"
