Holding Pattern - Spencer Museum of Art

    While we waited for our lunch to arrive at the old Teller's Restaurant in Lawrence, Kansas, we caught up with each other. Rick shared how museum goers were spending more than 15 minutes looking at work in New York, according to an article in the Times. Paula was getting ready to go with her sister on a trip to Costa Rico, a free trip.

Jan noticed stained leaves on a cloth at Roxie's studio. Suzanne recounted her 4,000 mile drive to the coast of Maine and the collograph workshop she took part in. It was some thing she could do as a widow to remember travels with her husband. Drinking it all in. Pacing herself. So happy to get back home, to use her own equipment, in her own space, without having to wait. And do collographs her way. Visits with relatives in Cinncinati.

John was finding out that the etcher of birds, Maurcie Bebb,  was a painter too. There was  more to people that what lay on the surface. He looked forward to sharing the inside of the Pruitt's house on Sunday, December 14,

from 2:00 to 4:00 pm. He said from the outside houses look so ordinary, while inside the decor can be extraordinary. I ordered "bee stings" to share at our table. Some tasted the snack treat made of cheese and cracked pepper. Papa frits were also shared, along with laughter, and joy. Then our food came. It was tasty and exotic.
