Wonderful Things




Fulsome descriptions include: August: Sloop Clearwater (1969), Length: 106 ft., Mast height: 108 ft., Sail Area: 4, 305 sq ft.


One day, half a week into the cold, I was semi able to focus. I opened a few blogs pages only to discover that I had won this deep, rich photograph by Tabor. I’m honored, and I’m amazed. I’m not the win everything person in the family. The Geezer is. Yesterday I was told the image shipped, and now I carefully check outside my front door with regularity. Photos when it arrives.

The Following day a little square arrived in the mail accompanied by a charming and old fashioned Valentines’ card. The card now sits now next to my bed smiling my way through this cold, thank you so much P. Then slowly I unwrapped the little square knowing who it was from but not what was inside. An artist’s paper envelope covered cardboard which covered green tissue paper artfully wrapped in a snip of chart. Inside this was a carefully folded piece of Bowsprite drawn fabric calendar art accompanied by a sheet with all the specs for these Ships of New York 2012 Tea Towel. Ahhhhhhh……..wonderful stuff.

Such a richness of friends.
