the old typewriter

Published by Angela under life, fun

I went to “Atonement” yesterday afternoon, and the staccato typewriter clicking punctuating the film made me come home and dig out my dad’s old Smith Corona.  He was a sports writer for the Orlando Sentinel around the time of WW II -and while writing for that paper, he met my mom.  I’ve hung onto this old machine for many years, and haven’t tried to type anything for at least 30 years on it.   After I placed it on the kitchen table, the kids just had to have a chance typing - and it actually worked!  The ribbon held enough ink to be legible!

Here are some action shots:

Today’s post is light on words and heavy on the visual. I gallery sat yesterday, and wanted to share some of my favorite works from this month’s show. ENJOY!

Gallery opening & raptors!

Published by Angela under art, fun

Tonight was the regular gallery stroll from 5-8. The back gallery is filled with children’s art, and our work is up in the front.  The back is bright and cheerful - it’s a really great show.

Then, just two doors down, there was a Raptor demonstration.  Here are a couple of shots from that - a screech owl and a red tail hawk.  There is a raptor rehab in Bradford, RI, and they brought some of their raptors and gave a talk about them in the Old Stone Bank building.  What a great space there.

NOT a groundhog!

Published by Angela under life

so, honestly, on Saturday (which was groundhog day) we looked in the back yard and saw THIS little guy :

ugly thing

GAAAAH. I hate those things.  He actually visited on Friday morning too - but not after Saturday.   And why did it take me until Tuesday to get the photo online?  don’t even ask.

Just be glad you don’t wake up and see that creature in your backyard!!!
