John & Betty Mojjis @ the Marathon Seafood Festival

Evin and I had a wonderful time at the Marathon Seafood Festival. The highlight of our day was meeting and chatting with Betty Mojjis, wife of a fabulous artist, John F Mojjis. John does art tiles and acrylics. They once owned the inn in Lake Lure, North Carolina where the movie "Dirty Dancing" was filmed.

Betty & John were very gracious and allowed me to take  photos...

"Betty"

Betty gave Evin and me one of their tiles. Within minutes it was hung beside my chair and computer desk in the window I gaze out of 1,000 time a day. "Thank you, Betty & John!!" Your work will always have a special place in our home.

What a great time was had by all!!

UPDATE:
 

This is the view I have out of the RV's windshield. See the hanging art from the rear view mirror?

 
 
John, your art is in the two windows I look out the most each day. When we leave Marathon next month we will take a visual reminder of Pigeon Key with us. Thanks to Betty and you.
