Clair's stained glass window, and paintings by my cousins Jim and John Hagen

My former next-door neighbor, Clair Garman, made a stained glass window that matches the ironwork of our bedframe. We have installed the window next to the bed, where it looks great and makes our new house feel like home.

Also, you can see to the left of the bed two paintings. The winter-scape is an awesome painting by my cousin John Hagen, who is a professional artist. The lighthouse is one of the best paintings by my other cousin Jim Hagen, who I think could have been a professional artist but chose to do engineering and business instead. As I look at these paintings while lying in bed just before going to sleep, and they inspire me - I hope to do art as well as my cousins.
