The Walker

Jeff and I went to the Walker Art Center last week.  I had not been there for quite some time, so it was a real treat.  There was all new exhibits, which was quite fun.  My favorites was 1964 and benches and binoculars.  1964 focuses on how art changed around historic events such as the assasination of JFK.  It was fun to see Andy Warhol's famouse can of Campbell's chicken n rice soup.  The other exhibit I liked was the benches and binoculars which was a room with prints, oils from floor to ceiling and benches with binoclulars that you could use to view them.  Some of the prints had not been out for decades.  What a treat!

New Years Eve Festivities

For our evening, we decided to go see the Curious Tale of Benjamin Button. We thoroughly enjoyed it. It had many topics that we enjoyed discussing. I would recommend it. The make-up was amazing! Ed has already said that he wants to own the video.

Great Movie


Ed, Jeff and I watched this movie Friday night. The name was 'The Bishop's Wife.' It was from 1947, with Cary Grant, Loretta Young and David Niven. We loved it.

Simple pleasures

I have rediscovered the joys of going to the library. I have just finished requesting about 25 books and a few DVD's. What a treasure and it is free! I have just finished reading 'Snow Flower and the Secret Fan. It is a great read.
