A Year’s Reflection: May-August

MAY

I have two pieces of mixed-media artwork accepted into a show at the Chromatics Second Floor Gallery in Nashville.  H and I attend the opening reception.

JUNE

I hop a flight to New York City (with Cirque du Soleil tickets in hand) for a girls’ weekend with my sisters, niece, and dear friend.  It’s amazing how much sightseeing we can pack into a couple of days.

JULY

W and F (H’s niece and nephew) arrive from Amsterdam to spend several weeks with us.  During the visit, we take a side trip to Washington for a weekend packed with history and fun.

AUGUST

While F visits a friend in NYC, we take W and her new friend A M to the amusement park at Lake Winnie.  It’s an afternoon full of whirling, twirling, gliding, and eating.
