Visiting our friends in Baker City Oregon October 7, 2017

Our dear friend Tom is an amazing artist.

From the 2 dimensional pieces below he

has created an imaginative tower of books

mixed with characters from children's books.

His plan is to eventually have this cast in bronze.

Some lucky library will have his tower....

will it be the library in your town?  

   

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Using sculpy Tom is making

Tom Sawyer's raft. This will be added

to one of the nooks between the books. 

It's Feline Friday!!! and Six Word Saturday!!! October 25-26, 2013

A hilarious sighting in Baker City!

Spotted this in a window above Short Term Gallery

in Baker City Oregon. Our wonderful artist friend 
Tom Novak created this cat and window! Tom has been
so instrumental in encouraging local artists here in Baker City. 
Here's a link to the gallery: http://www.shorttermgallery.com/
and here's a link to Tom Novak's art: http://novakstudio.com/
We are here in Baker City to visit Tom as he's quite
ill and needs lots of hugs, good thoughts and prayers sent his way.

Life Lessons to Be Learned

June Wrap Up

It's been a few weeks since I have put anything

new on my blog-where does the time go?

Well......I flew to Denver yesterday for

a week long visit with good friends and family....

Before I left I delivered July's arrangement to

Blue Sky Gallery in the Pearl District-

I taped some leaves onto some bamboo , then

sprayed blue paint on them and then dabbed some

white paint over the blue to make clouds...

Added to them one tall millet stalk and voila!

A "flower" arrangement that will last for a month!

Last week we went over to John Day and Baker City.

We visited friends in Baker City and admired

the huge mural that our friend Tom Novak had

painted with the high school kids helping.

It is a memorial for one of the teachers who had taught

at the high school.

Here's the link to his web site:

Then we were in JOhn Day for the annnual BMWRO Rally

that takes place every 3rd weekend in June.

The city of John Day opens up with their generous

hospitality and good humor. We always have a good time

there camping at the fairgrounds.....this photo is of the

Thursday night wine tasting.

About 800 people came to the Rally this year.

This photo was taken at a little park in John Day



Earlier this month we drove down to the Medford
area to look at potential real estate in Jacksonville.....



We looked at houses in Ashland......


and wine tasted in Jacksonville.....



So far this month has been a blast!!!!!
