Where have I been this week? Last Thursday I took the subway into the city for a long walk, including the Folger Shakespeare Library, and National Gallery of Art. Friday was spent installing an art gallery show, then in the evening bowling in the condo community center with our LGBT neighbors. Saturday morning was the monthly community coffee, and Saturday afternoon was the opening reception for the new art show. Sunday I went out to Mt Vernon for a walk in the cold. Tuesday evening we went into Old Town Alexandria to have dinner with an old friend.
Who have I talked to this week? Wow, lots and lots of friends and neighbors.
What have I been up to in the kitchen? Last Thursday I made Swiss Steak, Friday I made Pizza, Sunday beef stew and homemade bread.
What have I been reading? Barbados the Island of the Yellow Bird by Ralfy Mitchell. I need to go to the library soon, very soon.
Who did I reach out to? The daughter of one of my high school friends, I stumbled across a christmas photo of her from 28 years ago - scanned it an sent it to her. She has had an eventful year, and sounds like she has found happiness.
What else did I do? I mailed a dozen Christmas cards, the stack seems to get smaller each year.
What is on the easel? A self Portrait, it is coming along and looks somewhat like me.
What made me smile? I was exercising in the pool this afternoon, and there is a great view of the community Gallery from there. Two people walking down the hall, stopped suddenly to examine art on the wall. Mission accomplished if someone noticed.
