Dear Friends:
This past weekend’s Barn Show and Museum Open House was so special.
We had great weather, and everything was so beautiful! The trees and
the lawn were green from the spring rains, and even the deer that live
in the little valley below my Barn came to visit. I want to give a special
thanks to my son-in-law and Museum director Corrado Gabellieri for all
the care he takes in keeping everything looking so nice.
Family of Ten: Pat was thrilled to meet the Daughty family this
past weekend at the Barn - they only have two more children than Pat!
So many new friends came to visit this weekend, and it
was such fun to meet them all. I love to show off my home; and, with
all the new faces, there was plenty of opportunity. Thank you all for
coming!
Lots of people were asking about our Collectors’
Convention that will be held in Williamsburg, Virginia, September
22-23. They were excited about my new College of William and Mary
print and the two special convention prints. I’m excited, too!
Williamsburg is such a beautiful, unique showplace for Virginia, and
we’re just thrilled to be having our convention so close to home
and in such a special place.

I’ll be spending Thursday and Friday of this week
in another college town when I visit State College, Pennsylvania, for
Old Main Frame Shop & Gallery’s show. Gallery owner Marie
Librizzi and sales associate Nicole Book have a fun couple days planned,
and I’m very much looking forward to being there. I’ve created
a special print that will be released at the show, titled Centre
County Round Barn.
Centre County Round Barn to be released at Old Main Frame Shop and
Gallery during Pat's visit there July 13-14. For information, call (814)
237-3442.
After Old Main’s show, I’ll be heading over
to Hanover, Pennsylvania, for a show with Martin’s Gallery Saturday
and Sunday. Les and Pat Martin and their family are old and dear friends,
and I’m always delighted to be with them and their collectors.
Saturday morning, I’ll be having breakfast before the show at
the Dutch Country Restaurant with members of the Lake Marburg Moss Chapter
of the P. Buckley Moss Society.
I can’t think of a better way to start my day!

visit there July 15-16. For more information, please call (717) 632-3355.
I have to end this newsletter on a sad, serious note.
Another dear friend passed away due to cancer last weekend, and I feel
that we really need to do more to fight this dreadful disease. Please,
please, please go get your mammograms, colonoscopies, and other exams
on time. Don’t put them off! Early detection is so important.
Please also support your local walks and fundraisers; help them all
you can so that a cure may one day be found.
Bless you!
Love,
Pat
