Rembrandt's Return of the Prodigal Son

This year at St Mark in Salem Lenten devotions are based on Henri Nouwein's devotional study, based on the Return of the Prodigal Son.  This, and many other paintings of Rembrandt are in the Hermitage Museum in St Peters burg, Russia.

You would think that it would take a while to find someone who has seen the original, but you would be wrong.  Yesterday we found Betty Taunton, owner of the Spouting Horn Restaurant in Depoe Bay and she has been there.  While Betty is famous for her pies, she is also a world traveller. As an added bonus, she also has Montana roots.  While in her 80's she often puts in a full day's work and longs to be on the road again.
