Ya Ya Loves Lucy

I love spending the whole day just weeding and watering and planting in the backyard garden.
Lucy loves hanging out in the backyard with me.
Ya Ya loves Lucy.

Philadelphia Museum of Art

**********************
I had the opportunity to visit the museum several times to see the Frida Kahlo exhibit this spring. It was such a wonderful opportunity for me to see her paintings in person for the first time. I have been fascinated by her art and her life for many years.
each time I went through the the exhbit of her paintings and personal photographs, it was with a different group of friends. Truly a unique experience for me.

Ray is standing at the bottom of the steps in front of the main entrance. You can see the scaffolding all around as the building is getting a make-over.
Paula & Suzette are posed in front of the statues across the street from the main entrance. The equipment behind them was the CNN crews doing interviews behind us- it was the same day as the Pennsylvania Primary.

And the wonderful, majestic dog is one of a pair that guard the entrance to the Perleman Building. This houses several new galleries, a nice coffee shop and a very cool library. As a Museum Member I can hang out in the library reading cool art and textile magazines. The Library had a great exhibit of interesting old books. There is also a Textile Research Center located in the Perleman Building.

Scuba Ya Ya

I often think Ya Ya should star in her own TV show. In this week's episode . . .

Although this looks exactly like her, this is the first place winner of a Dog Fashion Show in Japan.

And I thought dressing her in frilly outfits was over the top!
