Today we wish Lincoln a Happy Adoption Day. He has brought lots of smiles and joy to us and those who have gotten to know him. And he has adapted to his new “work” at The Studio with enthusiasm. I recently saw what a friend wrote about his mixed breed dog and loved it….so from now on, because Lincoln is such a funny looking little mixed breed and I get asked a lot what is he mixed with…I will say “PERFECTION”!

Yesterday I had an early Birthday celebration with two wonderful friends. We had a nice lunch and then went over to the Museum of the Shenandoah Valley where we saw two amazing exhibits – Steinlen Cats and Tiffany Glass. Today I’ll share the Cats! The exhibit features 26 cat themed works by Theophile-Alexandre Steinlen (1859-1923). The is an artist best know for his Art Nouveau posters.
It’s a beautifully displayed exhibit. Don’t miss it. It is there until September 1, 2019.

Art comes in all forms. Yesterday at our Book Club meeting, Ruth brought a “Dr Pimple Popper” cake for Lynne who loves the show and was celebrating a birthday. Cute!

After a particularly long and ugly week I wanted to share the beautiful little town we live in…where there are many lovely people. This is a scene that Lincoln and I see as we walk downtown in the mornings. It’s enchanting. We want to remember the nice parts and let the rest go for now….
