Art Show 2008

On Saturday evening 30 friends joined us for BBQ to celebrate Art Show weekend. Madelaine Gray, photographer, invited Margaret Lutzke, quilter, and Robert Stadnycki, jacket artist. Margaret brought a salad of home grown vegetables. Robert brought a huge sense of humor and personality. He knew Barb Fishman and Pat Hottenstein from way back.

Dinner was good, but dessert was chocolate! and lime, and s'more.
Chris and Kate ponder dinner choices (newly engaged). Kate and her sister Sunni spent much time in Mt Gretna with us when they were kids. Their father Skip is a good friend.
All the tables were full!

Dave's eye was drawn to these copper Raku fired vases - we bought one!
I organized my earrings so they can be seen with this new rack.

Lincoln family visit

Our friends Elizabeth Lincoln and Jim Frey came to visit for 2 days last week, with their 3 boys - Kohji, Masaki and Makoto. Elizabeth is undergoing chemotherapy, and this was a weekend break for the family. The boys climbed up Governor Dick tower, swam in the pool, got a ride in Dave's new car, and visited the Jigger Shop! They enjoyed seeing the bat who lives in our table umbrella (and eats lots of bugs).

It's amazing how a beach ball keeps them entertained for hours.

Here's what replaced the Corvette!
We need a video clip showing how the top folds and tucks into the trunk!
