30 years have passed since I embarked on my business venture, and I am still in awe of the journey. The experience has been truly remarkable. As my children grew up, they spent a considerable amount of time with me at the shop, attending school across the street and engaging in various extracurricular activities. They would often visit me during lunch, and even in high school, they would bring friends over, prompting me to keep a steady supply of snacks on hand. Many dogs and even a bunny have called the shop home over the years. While I have had to say goodbye to many clients who have passed on or moved away, I have also had the pleasure of forming lasting friendships with many others. The shop itself has undergone multiple transformations, evolving from a gallery to a pharmacy, gift shop, Rockin the rivers headquarters, tax office, apartment, and consistently, a frame shop. Despite these changes, we remain committed to our endeavors, aspiring to continue for an extended period. This establishment has become an integral part of my life, serving as a home away from home. 🏠 🖼️ 💜
