Peaceful Art Times

Doylestown! Marge has a membership at the Michener Art Museum...

Entrance to Michener's Museum. Yes, the author nearly everybody has read.

...and that's where we headed off to this morning and saw some very satisfying art in a great setting that isn't overwhelmingly huge; though the permanent collections' housing/storage is enormous. On exhibit were McCurry's Afghanistan photos that really put me into that country and so did the Jonas Lie paintings of the Panama Canal construction. Also, I enjoyed the Nakashima furniture from the permanent collection. If you click on the link above to the website don't miss the photos of the Nakashima Reading Room. Here's one of his pieces...

One of a kind music stand. This photo is for Keoni and Aidan.

It is peacefully comfortable here at Marge's, and fun having a go at seeing some of the great things around here that Carol, who grew up in Bryn Athyn, has been pointing to that I might go see. Marge is helping make that happen. Yes, of course, is the answer to Do I miss Aidan and family and Toby. Yet, this is fun making life here with Marge.

Today, we hit one of the Farmer's Markets along Old Bethlehem Pike on the way home and scored on some great fruit and vegetables which are in abundance everywhere right now.

Spoiler Alert...

I'm going to tack this on because I thoroughly enjoyed going to see Hell or High Water the other day. (Still am astounded that there is a theater not far away that has closed caption devices.) I liked Jeff Bridges a lot in this one. He isn't a do-over of "the Dude" at all like he was in True Grit. Chris Pine is starting to look more craggy as he is now out of the smooth-cheeked, youth look he had in the Star Trek movies--he had a little meatier role to chew on and did a good job with it. Midland, Texas never looked this good, but that's OK. Clovis (and, I think Portales), New Mexico, made a good stand-in.
