Mystic mini-vacation

Some photos from our trip to Mystic. We visited the Seaport and the Aquarium.

New Couch and Loveseat!

Here are the NEW lazyboy reclining couch and love seat. This is what we spent our economic stimulus check on, and boy was it worth it! : ) Of course, we also waited close to six years to buy new furniture, so we were getting it regardless of our check, but it sure did help!

And there it goes...

The end of an era as the old couches finally leave...with some other choice stuff.

Drawing from Middletown

My art course this summer is called Drawing from Middletown. It is an open ended course about creating a visual project that is going to, in the end, represent a piece of Middletown.

My inspiration: my garden
My idea: flowers of Middletown
My materials: photos, and then some sort of drawings??
My hope: bold, beautiful colors
My fear: that Middletown is somehow missing
