My favorite artist

The picture.
The artist at work.
The Johnsons are so artistic! Keli took a really great photo and Derek painted a great picture from it.

At last

This is Derek with his Fiddle! I am so glad we got it. It is so nice to hear him play it again.

He's Home!

My Fisherman

I just wanted to tell you something about Derek. :) he really likes to go fishing but he doesn't just fish when he's out, he makes things too. the picture of my poor baby who dived off a picnic table is so you can see my necklace. Derek made it when we were on a camping fishing trip a couple of years ago. He made it from fishing line and some sort of stick he found in the north woods of MN. This summer Lars broke it and I lost the beads for it. This month Derek found some bamboo and dried it then made this new one for me. He is so cool. I like him a lot. :)
