Hi all,
Here is a photo of Gypsy Lou as she is about to leave the rehab center yesterday.
WE BUSTED HER OUT!!! Actually, some of the staff were rather relieved she left! But anyway, she is home by now with Rain, her step-grandson, and her beloved dog, Jolie. Pictured are: Dennis, Rain Lou and Sandi. Rain will stay with her for a while, and Coleen, her Social Worker is working on getting help to come in after that. I must say, she was feisty as ever!! What a trooper is all I can say.
If you'd like to drop her a note of encouragement, the new address is: Gypsy Lou Webb; 1050 Cousin Street, Apt. A; Slidell, La., 70458 Must say Sandi has been instrumental in helping her with everything, especially when I was out of town, and I couldn't move my car because of Mardi Gras, which I survived!!
Until later, take care, Rita
The NEW Rockmore fans continue to pour in thanks to the Tomb of Noel Rockmore article by John Ed Bradley in the current Garden & Gun Magazine. Two young Rockmore collectors recently were able to acquire this painting below in the Rockmore article which had only been seen in Black & White. Congratulations!

PS. The weekend Rockmore's on eBay below continue to be popular and keep us going. Please note that Rich & Tee's youngest child (of 5), High School Senior Taylor Rose Marvin, has a work up in our eBay store and it is titled Dreaming of a Kitten and designated - Not a Rockmore. Taylor Rose has won several art awards this year and decided to try this on eBay to help earn a bicycle for the spring.
