This was a fun visit with Nyree on the weekend of February 8th. We started it all with a trip to a new toy store in the upper part of King Street where they are in the process of expanding downtown northward. We spent nearly 2 hours searching for something for Mia- such a hard job-NOT! It was 2 hours of fun and amazement! So many really, really cool, fun, interesting,etc etc etc things. And, one especially neat thing is that practically every gadget or lamp or thinga-ma-bob on the shelf they have opened or put together or whatever, to show you how it works! Love that- and, judging from the energy of the employees, they love it, too! The Lego ferris wheel has over 8000 pieces! The dragon is large enough so a child can sit on it and pretend to fly through the air. There were way too many things to name. I wanna go back...Throughout the weekend we ate at Joe Pasta, gelatos at Paolo's, The Mustard Seed, Coconut Joe's; saw a play, of course the talking, laughing, and all that good stuff. We also each made a Vision Board. Actually, it took about 5 hours just to choose the images or words that touched us (as opposed to what people usually do and simply cut out pictures that represent what they want- car, tropical isle, Eiffel tower,etc- instead of being moved=connected to the image/words). We had to assemble the next day. Now, I'm supposed to lose, recycle, put away the board as opposed to what "they" usually say about looking at it every day. Once made, the intentions are sent out to the Universe to do its thing to have events transpire(which could take years depending on the desire). I wanted to create a board concerning my life as a full-time artist. Looking at my board, I am truly curious as to what these images have to do with that. It looks like it could be quite the adventure!
