Art and a Visit

#1. Today is the first day of Fall. As I dragged out my 'fall' decorations for the house, I decided I needed to have something on the wall so I did a quick watercolor of a pumpkin.


#2. I just spent 5 days with my eldest daughter, whom I had not seen in a long, long time. It was wonderful to catch up.


#3. We did a lot of eating out while she was here and we got to view the quilt guild exhibit at the local art museum.

#4. We also went to an exhibit of bronze sculptures at the Cultural Art Center. That was amazing.

#5. We watched a bunch of old home movies, reliving all the fun times the children had when they were younger.... and a super movie (a tear-jerker) "Light Between Oceans". The cinematography was amazing in this movie and the storyline, well, it was something you should see!

  1. 'Light Between the Oceans' - Was that about a lighthouse keeper and his wife who found a child adrift in a boat? It was a wonderful story!
    Have a great week-end!
