Abby's Art Show

Abby had some artwork displayed at a very special gallery this past month.  The pieces were actioned off to fund the Education Foundation and Abby was one of a very few artists whose work was chosen to be presented.  This first piece is now ours and will be at the cabin.  It is a water color of a richly colored sunset over a grove of pines.

I could not afford this second piece.  The gentleman who bought it introduced himself to Abby and said he thought it was very pretty.

The gallery was set up at the school and was beautifully catered.

We were also treated to music as we enjoyed the art.  Such a classy, classical evening.  I should have dressed better...........  Diana

Utica Ice Cream Festival

Last Saturday was the annual Ice Cream Festival in Utica, Ohio!  We NEVER MISS IT!!!!Even though temperatures were in the nineties and thunderstorms were predicted, Chuck, Jenn, Eli, Abby and I met at the festival and immediately set about finding our favorite treats.....cuz that's what it is really all about........eating! 

Eli went for a banana split and worked real hard at finishing it.  Humongous!

We stayed until the heat drained our energy and then headed to our air conditioned cars and home.  Of course I had to hit a few yard sales on the way back!  Diana
