Wed-new london pics
i pick kevin up at airport. he made his flight, but his bags took a later flight. blame dallas traffix. no biggie, cept, picking him up, didn't compute and i went to a bakery to get bread. OOPS. quick drive to airport. so, stay on east side. heard an 'ad' on NPR for my framing friends shop. said she would have 4 artists for the art walk. ART. well, shelly's" walls empty!, but an artist came a little later. won't bore with details. HA! show him some of downtown. the 2 MIAD's i went to. the iron block building. federal building. city hall. THE PFISTER. the old northwestern building. the middle scupted face always made me think robert bork. kevin agreed. the sunburst sculpture. the calatrava. the olmstead designed lakefront. lake shore mansions. well, spent a few hours. oh, forgot the almond tart bakery too. kevin got thirsty, so stopped at our local'starbucks', Alterra Coffee, whixch is in our historic pump house. changed from the time i was there with my uncle. poo. go to my house and have a late lunch of my great-aunt's cucumber salad and my salisbury meatballs, so he did have my home cooking.
then we go to a fairly bad estate sale.
later we go to a fancy restaurant. family lined up to check out kevin. mom, aunt, bro and his girlfriend and one of my uncle and spouse. ok, but i shall say find somewhere else. shit. played a fucking phil collin's CD too loud!!!
on thurs we get about a 11:00 start. or earlier. pic aare from new london and past new london, i see old cars and quick quick, pull OVER!
