Boston!

The family spent a lovely day in Boston a couple weekends ago. We walked the freedom trail and saw many wonderful sights from our nation's history. These lovely bronzes were very inspirational and I wanted to share them with you here.

We also spent time on a boat tour of NYC and an afternoon in Cape Cod, visiting the area where my father grew up. It was a quick trip, but nice to spend time with the family and enjoy the beautiful summer together visiting new places before school begins. My classes have started at Villanova University, where I am studying accounting and 3rd grade starts for Audrey on Monday. I will be busy, busy and not likely to post too often, but may have occasion here or there, so don't abandon me completely!

Alllmooost there...

If my head has been stuck in the proverbial sand (or in a tree as this poor horse found himself - I think the story ended well for him), it's because I'm waist deep in quicksand ..er.. homework. Just finished up the last of my 8 midterms yesterday and now I have one more push to get ready for the 3 finals. I will be so happy to finish Calculus - that's what I'll be working on today. Next up (over the holiday break), editing the next batch of DVDs (that I wanted to have released last spring - yikes!) and some repairs and commissions (one for a friend and the other that was a trade I simply couldn't pass up!). If those all go well, I hope to finish up the Arab from the NAN 2008 auction so that he can go home with someone and a surprise sales piece I've been itching to do for a few years now (where does the time go?). Stay tuned...

Four Little Letters that inspire dread...

For me, this week, those letters are G-M-A-T. For others, they may be L-S-A-T or or maybe M-C-A-T. They are all graduate school entrance exams, and I will be spending all my time until next Monday with a final push in preparation. So, I'd better get to it...
