My friend asked me to make her four Hokies...huh? What the heck are Hokies??? Oh, the Virginia Tech mascot. Learn something new everyday. I had to struggle with these because I'm Hokie challenged!

This is walking out of the west enterance. It was my sister's idea to take the shot but I copied it! Hers turned out great. She has a remarkable camera and eye.

The art featured at this museum is divided up into Modern and Contemporary, European, Classical, Ancient Egyptian, Ancient American, Portraits, European, American, Judaic (which I loved). There are two gardens, a gift shop and a good restaurant. I had a huge helping of sweet potatoe fries....it was a good day....

I'm not sure what this is. It looks like it may hold a dagger....it was in the African display.

This is Precious, the first sock doll I made. Sis saw her and took her to NY. Then she took her all over to see different places and friends. She'd send me photos now and again so I could keep up with their travels. The doll has a better social life than I do! But I think she may be turning into a lush....

OMG, sis gave me this photo the other night. It was taken when I first moved into this apt. in 2008....I was alone for the first two weeks and all I did was unpack and move boxes, makes piles and runs to the dumpster. It was an exhausting move. One I regret as well. Live and learn...

I miss my dog.....Ara

I'm headed back to this museum tomorrow with sis and her main squeeze. This Mona Lisa is composed of thousands of spools of thread dangling on wires....

I didn't take this shot. It was taken by hubby's brother when he visited last August. They live near San Franciso so off they went. We are relocating there next year. I can't wait!

I've still managed to keep a sense of humor!

This is a bag I made. I call her 'Mermaid'. Making things keeps my mind focused (no small feat!) and keeps me off the street!

This is my older sister and I. Gosh, I can't believe we're 66 and 63! Where does the time go? I like the bridge across my nose from taking off my glasses...I should have left them on...lol!
