The painting on the left (gorgeous colors, yes?) was done by Aaron Koonce whose works are exhibted at the Brandt Gallery in Tremont....just one of the 'stops' on the Tremont Art Walk. Are you familiar with the Art Walk? It's a great way to spend an evening, and it happens every second Friday of ...

It happened early this morning. They slept through the smoke detector alarms, but luckily the family dog woke them up. Everyone got out okay. But their home is is now a black hole.
