A new artisit to love.......

Edouard Vuillard.....early 20th century.....I don't know him....but I liked his pieces....some were so large I couldn't take a pic with my Iphone...this small one made me happy....and fit in the frame.

Going Home.........

I've spent a whole day conferencing and wandering.

Sunday morning I leave for home.

I have to repack yet.....shuffle things .....cram in a few souvenirs and probably make a big cup of tea.....I feel a cold coming on....but I think at least 213 people at the conference coughed on me......so...a lite cough and a scratchy throat isn't too surprising.

I have had some extraordinary hours here in NYC.....doing what I love the most.....talking.....laughing....sharing.....over exquisite food and heavenly wine.

Tonight I was even able to catch a brand new African exhibit at the Met.....and although I was by myself.....I had a lovely dinner....at the museum.....with a nice pinot noir...pleasant food....and beautiful old marble statues as my dinner partners.

I've had more than my usual share of ghost times this trip.....and even a severe Harpie attack.....but ...thoughfulness and striving to do things outside the box......has a price.....and sometimes life asks you to pony up.

I have a couple of funny pics and a few great NYC stories ....I'll share over the next week....while I go through big city withdrawal.

but now......suitcase time.
