i’m back. it was good. very very very VERY bizzy. i’ll probably write all the details in a rambly way, maybe public, maybe not. but later, not now. the travel was easy. big fat Midwest Airlines seats. betsy’s play was brilliant. i was so proud of her. i was surprised to learn that she also designed the production, not only directed. it was fabulous. the image above is part of the set. a yarny loft. ha ha. i want one of those. it took until after the second night for me to realize why it looked so familiar. when she was around 4, one of her favorite activities was to get out my huge basket of ribbons and laces and tape them all around the house. long strands of beauty. i would usually just let her go crazy. it was so much fun to watch. some of my ribbons still have crusty brown scotch tape on the ends. her ensemble were all wonderful, too. i was able to see the play 3 times, although one of them was while trying to babysit little Kathy. there was also much visiting with family, running around to see 4 other plays and lots of eating. i loved every minute of the time, except for one night when i felt very depressed before falling asleep. i guess i was tired. or something.
there was *not* much picture-taking. who had time? the one’s i have are pretty dreadful. worse than snapshots.
now i am making little artThings again.
back to the grindstone. sigh…
