Beautifully Painted Birds & Flowers the Kitchen of our Mesa, AZ house in 2019

Photos of the Beautifully Hand Painted Kitchen "Birds, Butterflies and Flowers" in our 
Mesa, AZ house which we sold on May 15, 2019
Tina and I moved to Raleigh NC to be near our Grandkids (Dylan 4, and Lucy 1).
Their parents (Trey, our older son, and wife Ashley, our wonderful daughter-in-law) moved to Raleigh in 2016 from Culver City (LA), CA.
They wanted to be able to afford a house for Dylan. 
LA houses are MUCH MORE EXPENSIVE then houses in NC.
Trey is a computer programmer and his company offered employees to "Work From Home".
A&T decided to move to Raleigh where they could buy a house much cheaper than in the LA area.
So, from October 2016 til now, Tina has wanted to move to Raleigh.
I knew it was just a matter of time.
I finally retired on July 31, but Tina was in Raleigh from May 20 getting our new home all fixed up!

In 2004, our next door neighbor (Sherry T.) painted all kinds of flowers, birds and butterflies on our kitchen walls in Mesa, AZ.  She did this for us because we had seen similar wall art at my cousin Joe & Jill's house in Indiana years earlier.
We have now loved those painted walls done by Sherry for 15 years and were sad to have to leave them.
So, I saved these photos for our enjoyment now that we are gone and the house has been sold.
The photos are below:















































Proof that our family really loves those painted birds and flowers.
Actually, our grandkids don't even notice those painted walls.
But Tina and I love Sherry's paintings every day.
