A time and place for all things

Our trip to NYC was rained out so we pretended. We did in Boston what we usually do in the Big Apple. In Harvard Square we went to Ruth Rosner's opening to see her totemic sculpture, and stopped at the Coop to get the English magazines The Artist and Modern Painters. The April issue of the latter, with Hockney on the front, I am reading backwards and getting ideas. The other transports me to England for conversations on another level.

We attended Open Studios and encountered new artists and got books: The Confident Creative by Cat Bennett and The Six Archetypes of Love by Allan Hunter. After eating out and shopping and reconnecting with the grandchildren on their return from Disneyworld, it was time to organize the study further (new computer adjustments, clearing, seem endless). In the meantime, we saw Hannah's soccer game and David got his first haircut. Hopefully back to production soon. Nothing like a sunny weekend; and Otto Dix will be at Neue Gallery until August. The fantasy succeeded!

  1. The contented face and the bright colors make me think David thinks he is STILL at Disneyworld. Your so-much-fun day was a SENIOR Disney World day, without all the confusion of the actual place.

  2. What a satisfying weekend. It was sunny? We've had rain all weekend and the new irises are beaten up. David looks like he enjoyed his hair cut and his cookie.

  3. I wish I had a cookie & a sister to hold on to my chair when I get a haircut. Delightful pictures! Super "weekend in review."

  4. What a totally fun weekend you had! I love the idea of doing in Boston what you would have done in NYC! I need to keep that idea in mind, for times I get disappointed from a post-poned or cancelled event of any kind. Love the pictures of David. What memories they bring back to me, of Rob's first haircut (also captured in a picture), and the first haircuts of my three grandsons. So much news of one in particular, but I will save that for an email. Love this post, as always!

  5. I forgot to mention the quilt stores I visited. In NYC, I never want to miss The City Quilter! as you know.
