I just really loved the colors of this picture. A little strange for a house, but I do like the way it came out.
This is a card for my dear friend, Adugna. He is from Ethiopia and walks with crutches because he doesn't have any use of his right leg. As a child, his father would show him pictures of FDR and tell him that he had to come to America, because he would have the opportunity to do anything here and he knew that in Ethiopia he would not be treated well because of his disability. Adugna has been in this country since college and after waiting 15 years, became a citizen last September. This week, he and his wife and son move into their first house. He is living the American dream and couldn't be happier. And it couldn't have happened to a better person.
