Boone, North Carolina



This is the only picture I took in the Boone, North Carolina area where we went around the 20th of October 2022 to attend a memorial service for Dave's cousin, Jan, beloved to us and to many others.  Family and friends came in from all over to be together as her ashes were interred.  We had a loving good time celebrating Jan.  

Dave and I got there a couple days ahead of time and did some walking and exploring.  We camped at a campground just beyond the barn in the picture above.  It was a nice campground and we put in some miles walking.

In the town of Boone we happened into a thrift shop where I got lucky with an original painting by Anne Peterson Klahr which still had the price tag on the back for $250.  The name of the painting, also on the price tag sticker is Assimilate.  I love it.  My gain. Was it at the thrift store because someone gifted it to someone else who didn't want it?  Was it a leftover piece from an otherwise sold-out show?  Who knows what the story is on the painting.  I looked her up and found virtually nothing using the name Klahr.  And what was the painting doing in Boone when nearly everything about Anne Peterson takes place in Idaho, from what I can see on line.  She does murals and paintings. I love love love her work. 


Assimilate.  I am assuming it is an assimilation with nature, with trees, foliage, with water and sky. I love it.
