It is with great sadness that I must say that Ellen LaPurka, wife of Bill LaPurka - owner of former Rocky Point Hardware has passed away-very fittingly on St Patrick's Day, Monday March 17th. Ellen wore her Irish heritage with extreme pride. 🍀 🇮🇪

I just found out tonight that my BFF of nearly 40 years lost everything in a flood from the rain storm we had on Sunday night. If you can donate anything , even if it's $5 that would be greatly appreciated. As soon as I found out what they need in terms of actual items.. I will update this post.
Also please share this.

Our heart goes out to our brother Ed Keegan and his Fiancé, Sa… Tara Schnell needs your support for Standing with Ed and Sandy - Fresh Start Fund after flood

I found more store window pics! I KNOW there's so many more! Easter, St. Patrick's Day... Can't wait to find more.... When I see them I remember making each and everyone and because I'm not too creative (it kind of builds up as I go along) I remember all the anxiety I went through doing them LOL. ~~Kristina
