STAY SAFE & WELL!

A winter escape to Florida was shortened by COVID-19.  With "shelter in place" restrictions looming we packed up and came back to the lake in Wisconsin.  Will quarantine here and see what the future holds.  For now, Checkered Corner will not open its doors in April.  Hoping for May 1st.  
Keep you posted and will keep creating until then.

A little FUN in the sun before the virus attack...








AND A LITTLE WORK IN THE SUN on a disaster relief mission trip to Panama City FL.  Along with a group of Minnesota folks from our old church, we worked on several projects for homeowners still suffering from the effects of Hurricane Michael in Oct 2018.  A very rewarding experience and so glad we were able to complete this mission before the travel restrictions.  We left behind some happy homeowners!
Spending a week on construction job sites helping others is truly a blessing to me

 Can’t wait to fill these galvanized feeder scoops with 6” pots of herbs or blooms. Stand this rescued full size headboard outside and let it weather away...  
Fun idea for an old headboard! PLANT IT
