Garbage Plate 10-24-08

Had a great trip to Ohio last weekend. Stopped in Rochester on the way there and had to go to Tahoe's to get a garbage plate, Alana didn't partake in the fun, but she did enjoy the tables...Brian completely cleaned his plate, I got about halfway through! Ah the memories. Sent this photo to Chris via the phone...

Camera broken! Boston Take II

My casio camera's zoom is freaking out, so we're out of photos for a while...

Went to Boston today. Had an awesome drive in, lots of pretty trees in peak color, and surprisingly little traffic. Have to love EZ pass...fly by all those slow pokes in the cash only lanes....muhahahaha.

Good Karma -- a woman gave KG and I her two extra tickets (from her membership) to get into the museum (savings $17 a piece). I did have library passes so we were only going to pay $5 but still FREE is so much better! THEN when I went back to the MFA to pay for parking before leaving, and ran into some members trying to get their discount but having much difficulty...I showed them how to properly use the kiosks and was given the use of their membership card...(savings $10)....how awesome is that! And to keep passing this good karma on, I gave a cute European couple my $5 coupon as they were entering the museum...wow...what a day eh?

Made it home in one piece too!

Off to MD...and then OHIO...it's going to be a busy October. Hope ya'll are happy and healthy (as GCP likes to say).

Adventure at the MFA

We visited the MFA yesterday and had a grand time in the galleries, which were practically empty! We went to the Roman/Greek/Egyptian area first, absolutely lovely! Then we met CEL for lunch, so wonderful to hang out. We then explored the Chinese art galleries on foot, yes, Alana walked around (rather ran at times), and tuckered herself out! We also found that most galleries had beautiful pieces of furniture that you could sit ON! Like Jere Osgood, and Sam Maloof and even Nakashima! That was cool for ME to see, and SIT!

I forgot my camera, so here are two photos of Alana planning our next trip...










She's telling me that we missed the Winslow Homer exhibition and she'd really like to see it next time...try and remember Mama...









And here she's remembering getting yelled at for touching the totally awesome mural/chair/modern piece in the long hallway by the cafe..."what mom, it was soooo awesome to touch!" OOOOOPs! as we got yelled at by security man....
