Positive Impressions

Today we introduced two friends to the Taft Museum, a little treasure tucked into a corner of downtown that is always fun to visit. Cindi Cooper and Evelyn both decided they wanted to see the special exhibit there. It was ending today, and Sunday admission to the museum is free, so this was the perfect day to go. "Old Masters to Impressionists—Three Centuries of French Painting" was the special exhibit. We drove Dan and Cindi downtown to visit the museum after church.
We enjoyed it as well as a relatively quick browse through the main museum, and then walked through the small garden outside the museum (I've never done that before; I think we've always been here in cold weather). We had come almost straight from church. Stopped at Bronte Bistro for brunch on the way. Each of us had something different, and every meal was wonderful: trail mix pancakes, spinach and mushroom omelette, eggs and bacon, and breakfast burrito. Bronte Bistro is one of our favorite places to eat.
It was glorious day, warm but not hot, sunny and dry. Evelyn and I ran some errands on the way home and were here by about 3:30. I worked outside for a couple of hours, took a shower, edited one article, and then helped Evelyn fix supper. We watched some TV and ate bacon, lettuce, and tomato sandwiches (tomatoes from the garden).
Quite a pleasant Sunday, although quite a few items on the to-do lists have not yet been checked off.

I persuaded Evelyn and Cindi to pose in the garden outside the museum.
