BEST HOLIDAY GIFT GIVEN:
Homemade wreaths we made from
native California evergreens and
shrubs.
BEST HOLIDAY GIFT RECEIVED
BY GWENDOLYN: My sister Holly
gave me my very first beloved dog,
D-O-G (pronounced dee-oh-gee, just
as it’s spelled). She had a very literal
name for an extraordinary little dog.
Husband and wife
often paint in the dining room, across from
each other. Earnest
built the wall-mounted
shelves that display
their work.
BEST HOLIDAY GIFT RECEIVED
BY EARNEST: My dad sent us a table
saw and on the outside of the shipping
crate he painted a portrait of D-O-G.
The portrait/crate tends to migrate
from room to room as we do a great
deal of rearranging in our house.
