Good or Bad Karma??-ABC WEDNESDAY-K-

I often wondered if this was good Karma OR bad?  Since I never really cared for the merchandise inside the store, I'll let you decide...

You can't connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something - your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life.

ABC WEDNESDAY-"I" Incredible Sculpture

"THE END OF THE TRAIL"

Standing 18 feet tall and weighing approximately four tons, James Earle Fraser's magnificent and powerful sculpture creates a dramatic first impression when you enter the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum in Oklahoma City.  Plan to spend one whole day there to visit the outdoor gardens and to see the collection of paintings, pottery, firearms and Native American art as well as exhibits that illustrate the history and culture of the American West.

Another ABC WEDNESDAY POST-"V" VERY, VERY FUNKY!- Pianos on Parade

 During the months of June and July, 20 pianos decorated by local artists will be placed throughout the city by an organization called  Keys 4/4 Kids. Read here for a complete description of this musical project. Passersby are encouraged to sit down and play. Last Thursday I toured the city quite early to find some of the pianos in parks, on sidewalks, and next to buildings before many people were out and about so I found no performers, but I found great pianos.  This one is in front of Ordway Theatre and was decorated by Joy Liberman, whom you have met on my blog before when she did the Apple-a-Day project.  Here is what she said about this piano: "Keycycle" My paintings are representational but often have an added level of meaning. I seek unique possibilities for joining common subjects and materials. "Bicycle Races" by Queen is the subject of my Pianos on Parade project. Both bicycles and pianos are machines that can take one for a ride, either on a physical or spiritual dimension. www.joylibermanpaintings.com.

ABC WEDNESDAY-"T"-TERRIFICALLY TASTY PIZZA TREAT!! (Road trip)

Eating outdoors is always great when you have a tasty treat like this 10" pizza from Nelson's Cheese Factory in Nelson, WI.  We took one of our road trips along the Mississippi and always end up there because they have a great wine bar, delectable sandwiches and soups, these stupendous pizzas, and fantastic ice cream.  We've eaten there since they began as a cheese factory with subsequent remodelling and expansion.

ABC WEDNESDAY-Y: Youthful Exuberance

My granddaughter has gone to the same summer camp for the past three years.  It's a terrific place with canoeing, swimming, horseback riding, gardening, and other typical camp activities. During each session all the different age groups and the YOUNG exuberant camp counselors put on a Family Day program with silly skits and music.  A great time for all!
