going away for even a day, only 30 miles away, was refreshing. it was gray and dreary, not the best light for kansas city, for sure, but we had a great day nonetheless. sliver was packed and sent to betsy first, so that was out of my hair. i don’t know why Mailing Things is so stressful for me? first to the Kemper, met mi poeta’s amigo (sans baby and wife today … waaaah. i like them TOO.), looked at sanditz and fujita, neither of which i was crazy about, but that is ok, one always learns something by looking. then yummy lunch in the cafe, to mi poeta’s appointments, passing a large cemetery on the way, which i decided to go see while he was busy. found it was the Union Cemetery, where i had been before, but made driveby shots anyway. went back, found him, to Costco (avocados, blackcurrant/blueberry juice, tiny peppers, mozzarella and MORE) and our favorite thrift store (brand new polaroid close-up camera and a hair straightening iron for $3!!). to a Real artstore (one sheet of Arches hot press for transfers, some Golden matte medium instead of the nasty Liquitex, two odd colors of tissue - shopping online is my only option now as i despise Hobby Lobby, it is a wonderful treat to go to a Real artstore and touch and see). a walk in a big park and then to the movies - yes again - Heading South. hmmmmm. odd. then home in the dark. it was good.
now it is back to the grindstone, but look. friday already!
