VISIT TO CLARK FOR "VIRGINIA WOLF ART

 We went to The Clark yesterday and finally viewed the "A Room of My Own" art collection.  

Amazing!  

So much variety in the kinds and style.  Much of it was large enough for me to easily see.
I liked two juxtaposed large and very detailed paintings of women in WWII making bombshells  and women in WWII in an office and building airplanes.
I was very tired, but I made out.  Twice the guard asked me if I were "alright"
I also had stamina for a trip by my favorites.  HOmer's bride riding a pony in the White Mountains and another of a glowing glowing bride that always catches my joy.   Goya''s portrait is still next to a very small copy One of the Tapestry painting, a rare cheer












Very sad of soldiers


Woman with a dove.

VISIT WITH LOTS OF FAMILY AT DANA AND TERA'S IN BOSTON

 We went to Boston today to see Dana and Tera's new apartment.  Small, but nice.  

We met up there with Cory, Katie, and Reid for some fine talks, and then we walked to the legal Seafood restaurant where we met Frank, Julie, and Sylvia.

Lots of fun.

The food was all good, but there were some disappointments.

The menu had a Sablefish, a black cod, but they were out of it.

I picked an Icelandic cod that was really good.  However, it was supposed to come with sliced and crispy potatoes and instead we were served whole small roasted potatoes, most of which we brought back to the room.

I had plenty to eat, however.  As did others.

Good room here in Boston.  Two beds. Short toilets, however. But wifi that was easy to set up.

We had an easy ride it with just a mild holdup, but I expect it will not be the same on the way home.  Too much construction and backup on these roads.

I walked a good way to get to the restaurant and I think that was good for me.  I got tired.  We took an Uber back to our Airbandb.

GLENS FALLS MUSEUM CHAPMAN MUSEUM SENECA RAY STODDARD

 We toured this museum and enjoyed it a good bit.  $4 entry.  Worth the price.

The quilt exhibit is temporary.  I liked the old crazy quits, very abstract especially for the time period.  These first two were my favorite.





A train circles this Christmas village.

This was done for the Bicentennial.  Nice enough, but a bit cheezy.





Here I am with Seneca Ray Stoddard's published lectures.  I could have bought many of these for a dime a piece at a local bookstore when I was in college.  Missed opportunity.  Stoddard was instrumental in the development of Glens Falls.





Very cool display of Christmas figures.
