When living in the Chicago area got to be a little too noisy and crowded, Jim headed off to his own green acres in Michigan bringing his few paintbrush's with him to make a living. Karen however had her start in Michigan City , but has lived in this area since 1970 making New Buffalo her home for many years and finally moving on to Sawyer. Jim and Karen have thoroughly enjoyed hosting some lovely guests and look forward to doing the same in the foreseeable future.
