Confessions of a Puzzle-holic

“I am a puzzle-holic and I admit it, “ share Rhonda Summer. “ We have a house here and one at the lake and I have puzzles going both places. They are quite addictive.” Rhonda is pictured with her daughter Rebecca who is not into puzzles … yet. Rhonda purchased these three puzzles on her most recent visit.

Would You Sign My Puzzle?

Carole Demmy shared her thoughts on the framed ‘Carolina Calling’ puzzle she brought in for Dempsey to sign. “I thought the hard part would be the sky but it was the flowers instead. I found one of the three hidden hummers and I worked for a month on and off to get this completed. It is the most recent addition to my private Dempsey Essick Collection.”

Thumbs Up to Dempsey

Fedex and UPS may be competitors but one thing they do agree on is that Dempsey Essick Art is NUMBER ONE. Pictured here are 2 Dempsey fans, Jeff Curtis and Terry Vestal.

Happy Bird Day

Dempsey was recently guest speaker at Second United Church of Christ in Lexington where he spoke to a group of 100 on his favorite topic, BLUEBIRDING. Dempsey shared his birding story and showed the video of “Inside the Nest Box”. After a delicious lunch, door prizes were distributed and Little Lauren,who came with her grandma and grandpa, won a hummingbird garden stone. Dempsey was invited to speak by long time friend and Essick Art Collector Bobby Rogers. Rev Bill Shrout was on hand and made us feel so welcomed.

Pretty as a Picture

Marion and Barney so graciously shared this photo of their bedroom which features Dempsey’s print of “Daylily Days”. Everything co-ordinates so perfectly and we are so pleased to have Dempsey’s work in the O’Quinn home. Thank you folks, for sharing.

A Little R & R

Dempsey and I just returned from a cruise to Mexico and are pleased to say that we were on Carnival’s Paradise and not the Triumph. The highlight of the trip was the swim with the dolphins. We were guests of our daughter Beth, her husband, Donald and 4 year old Elim.

Mountain Memories

“Dempsey, I just hung my newest addition to my collection, Wilson Creek. It’s my new favorite of all all to date. It brings back wonderful memories of me and my husband riding our horses in the mountains. Thank you for helping me pick out the mat and frame, it looks beautiful on my rock fireplace. Tell Shelley her favorite cousin sends regards.”  Rocki Tesh
