Anne McCaffrey - Gone Between...

Thank you for introducing me to the first fantasy series to have a lasting hold on my life and opening the doors for other wonderful series as well. Dragonriders of Pern was my first fandom and still is one of the strongest for me.


Gone Between.....

Fort Smith Air Show and The USAF Thunderbirds

Another edition of Crafty Picspam

So, reminded me that I was a bit over due for one of these again.  Guess I'd better post what I've been up to crafts-wise since my last one in mid September.

Lately

So I've spent most of this week sick, heading to work in the mornings and then pretty much coming home and sleeping till Sir Dragon Preacher would arrive home in the evenings. I'd stay up for a while the sleep more, rinse - repeat.

Doing a bit better today but this will definitely be an 'at home' weekend for us except for church Sunday.

Last weekend however, we made an overnight trip to OKC for what was supposed to have been a church outing to see the Passages exhibit there at the Museum of Art. We arrived there Friday afternoon and checked into our motel.


The exhibit was wonderful though no photos were allowed. However, after going through that exhibit, we visited all the other exhibits there since we were on our own. They had two 'visiting' exhibits. Another that did not allow photos taken but was rather wonderful entitled Faded Elegance:  Photos of Havana.  The work was striking and breathtaking.

There also was a whimsical exhibit called Poodles & Pastries that was interesting.  A few favorites below:

However, my most favorites of the day were in the permanent collection.

From there, we began a leisurely trip back home with a stop for lunch along the way. A very good weekend.
