Holley Hollow

Painting by Marilu Holley Rauen

Holley Hollow was an actual place I often visited in my childhood. My grandparents, J. Paul and Mary Holley built a cabin at Big Bear Lake California in the 1930s and named it Holley Hollow. I have many fond memories of this little mountain abode; many happy Summertimes there with my grandparents as well as Winters skiing with my parents, brothers and sisters. Now I call my home in cyberspace Holley's Hollow, in loving memory of my grandparents Paul and Mary Holley.
