Yesterday - Cincinatti

Had a blast yesterday.  Got to see Linda's studio - http://www.lyndasartistichaven.com/ and it was a blast to see her and her space.  Plus, all the really cool items she has been working on.  Got to see two necklaces she put in a juried show - can I just say Gorgeous!?  I am a bit envious of her talent, but seeing all the pieces she had around the room, she has been practicing for longer than I have.  I just have to keep up working on it.

We also saw Disney's Mary Poppins, which while it was fun, seemed disjointed to me - the story was fragmented.  There was more song and action that story, which makes sense because the crowd at the matinee were a good majority parents/grandparents with young kids most seemed 5 to 9.  My issue was there wasn't much that felt like Disney - like Beauty and Beast and Lion King had.  It was a very good production, and a few moments were decidedly Disney - but didn't have the heart stopping wonder that I felt I saw in the other two shows.  It was a little flat.  But, Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious was WONDERFUL and amazingly choreographed - that was a Disney moment and Mary's departure was one also.  But, they were moments, not the broad brush strokes that were in the other two.

Then, through rain and crazy drivers, we went to IKEA.  We have an IKEA near us again, and I am happy.  We used to have one down the street, not two hours away, but I will take it.  It was very different than the one in Schaumburg, it was on two floors, and the pathway through was winding and meandering.  Every bit of floor space was given up to displays.  Not the large roomy version in Illinois.  It was fun, and some how two hours vanished.  I do have finally a set of dresser drawers - since we weren't able to get our ones from Illinois up the stairs of the house, have been using a book shelf for clothes.  That along with tilling the garden again are my tasks for today.

But Bobbi needs a level, and I wanted to relax and do that also.
