Carroll and Sons - Now Open

I got the opportunity to fly out to Boston this weekend to attend the grand opening of my brother Joe's fine arts gallery.  Check it out at here.

Friday night was the opening for his first show featuring the artists Amy Chan & Thomas Allen.  After the opening we had a great dinner a tasty chinese restaurant right around the corner from the gallery. Joe (or Uncle Jojo as he is known at the Red House) has been putting in hour after hour getting the space ready...building new walls, tearing some down, scrubing floors, painting and on and on. The end result, a beautiful space! We're all so proud and excited for him!

Here's me and mom hanging at the gallery on Saturday.

Introducing Oscar!

We are very excited to announce a new addition to the Red House...Oscar! After several months of debate (well, mostly trying to convince me) we decided to dive into the challenging world of dog ownership. Oscar was 8 weeks when we got him and very adorable as you can see - he's a purebred boxer: good with kids and very loyal. Maryanne is very diligent about training and Oscar is an excellent student. He's at the top of his class at puppy school at the OSU vet school. We are very proud of him. He has already gotten a lot bigger and went with us to the beach (OC, MD). He has made friends with all the neighborhood dogs and often has puppy play dates with Digby our neighbor's Basenji mix. Stay tuned for more about our Oscar adventures.
