I have no doubt that your house looks amazing with your artwork adorning its walls. Michelle and my son, Beau, both received awards of excellence in High School for their art and photography. They still paint/draw when the urge takes them. I only wish I had taken up painting at their ages.Serena Lewishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17789734075055678964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4166133926661022482.post-50437202599825621592008-01-10T17:23:00.000+10:002008-01-10T17:23:00.000+10:00Well, I think the paintings are cool.

She is currently attending a Physio-therapist three days a week and, you're so right, whiplash can have long-lasting effects. <BR/><BR/>Yes, the paintings on the wall are mine.
