Museum of Contemporary Art

Went to the Museum of Contemporary Art, free for residents on Tuesdays. Not much going on there except an extensive display of works by Faith Ringgold. She was the inspiration for my New York Story quilt from a few of years ago. Now thinking of possibly doing another story quilt. TBD

 

Christmas with the Family

Had a nice Christmas with the family. Unfortunately the girl got Covid and had to join via zoom.

 

Radical Clay

New exhibition at the AIC called Radical Clay. Works of art in clay by Japanese women artists.

Amazing!

 

Foster

I’ve been pretty busy this week with Harry. We’re fostering him. I got approved to be a foster parent for dogs and stipulated “small dogs” on my application. 

I got a little bit railroaded into bringing Harry home. At first he wouldn’t go up or down the stairs. I carried all 45 lbs of him many trips up and down for the first day and a half.

Finally he learned, with treats on each step, to go up and down on his on.

He’s really a sweet dog and I hope he goes to a good family.

I’m taking him back on Saturday.

 

Boop

We caught the holiday train downtown to see a show. Boop the Musical. It was fantastic 

 

King of Cups

After the Zoo Lights we stopped in to a pub we’ve never been to before, where I got a drink that came with fire and a tarot card reading which indicated all is good.

 

Zoo Lights

We went to the Lincoln Park Zoo on Friday evening. It was chilly out, finally got out my heavy coat. The lights were nice and some of the animals were outside. The lions were roaring and having a great time.
