Renee

Let me tell you just a little about the Askews.  They live in a 97-year-old farmhouse 30 minutes from Boone that they gradually fixed up as they birthed and raised three kids.  They are professional artists, and art is everywhere in their home.  If someone is going through a hard time, Renee will have them paint on her couch as therapy.  All kinds of musical instruments hang on the walls.  There are verses and pictures all over the walls, lamps, tables and chairs, and canvases of varying size everywhere you look, painted by all five members of the family.  They buy milk from the local dairy farm, they all share one bathroom, and don't have a dishwasher.  Without some of the modern 'conveniences', you actually feel a lot more peace at their house, and even though they wash dishes by hand, they are never in a hurry but are always on time.  

Hm.....

I feel very inspired when I go there.  Thank you Askews, for being you!
