Sunday Short Hike

In the spring I was going to a park every week to hike but I fell off the wagon this summer.  Trying to get back into it.  Did a short hike at a nature center today.  Some pictures.

A Sunday Of Art

 Two art adventures on Sunday.  

Saturday began the official start of a group of black artists painting murals in the area north east of the new center area (though some started earlier).

  It was interesting to talk to the artists as they were painting.  The painting is supposed to be finished by next weekend.  Will not be able to go the the festival they have planned due to the Lolli family reunion, but I hope to return soon after to see the results.  

A few of the pictures are below: 





The other adventure was an open house at a studio space and gallery at 333 Midland in Highland Park.   I went to pick up supplies for an art exhibition callus "Climate Conversations - All We Can Save".  The plan is to decorate cigarette boxes with your art.  The space is in an old factory.  It was amazing to see some of the equipment these artists who work in large scale in wood or metal have.

First Book of 2021 Finished

 

And it was a special book.  When Frank died my cousin indicated that her and her brother didn't want to send flowers but wanted to send a donation to something that was meaningful to Frank.  I suggested a donation to the Clawson Blair Memorial Library.  While we do not live in Clawson - it is the library that both of us went to.  We would go regularly (before COVID) to sit and read the papers and magazines and browse the stacks.  I am into fiction while Frank preferred biography and history.  The library sent a list of the books that they purchased and I finished the first one that I took out (they are doing curbside pickups). And it turned out to be a book about a group of rowers in Chicago.  Not Franks sport but it was my sport at one time.  

Thank you Margaret and Ross.
