Peter standing in front of a marvelous
Mid-century Modern melamine wall mural by Enrique Paulucci. Media: Pencil, pastels, watercolors.
Each day can be a good day now. I’ve never been good at acceptance, but I am
vastly better these days than when I began falling apart. I ranted and raved then. Cried in frustration too. Now days I try to find a new way to make the
broken part work better. What a
different way of thinking.
Lining the edges of his pool are life squares,
not boats or rings, that will hold 12 people.
These are from the MS Augustus/MS Philippines, the mate to the Andrea Doria,
only recently scrapped.
We did have a delightful weekend. The visit at Peter’s was a wonderful gallery
trip into the mid-century artistic thinking.
I’m passioonate about Paulucci. I
wish he was here not to tell me again where this or that came from. The
paneling, the doors, the lights…which ship?
I share with you without location…and I will share more later.
Monday: I roared
around the ballpark with my walker. Many
other days I did too much of a good thing.
A rich slice of Farewell Cake at Bobbies good bye party at the
store. Desert plus at Peter’s. Did I say Cracker Jack and M&M’s at the
ballpark too. Three cookies at work
yesterday also…three Oreos. Tomorrow I
will be having a slice of cake from Vons.
A big slice. Yes, I accept that I
seem to be celebrating too much this year, and I am glad I’m beginning to
celebrate my birthday again. I still
remember the 9/11 victims clearly, but I’m beginning to see beyond the horrors
of the day.
A Glorious mural in the dining room surrounded
by unique paneling from several ships. A
restored table and chairs.
On the patio is a binnacle and other pieces from
bridges. Two tall not yet recessed
lights, unique first class chairs, and a semi-circular bench from the “Love
Boat. I think I have a picture of mother
on that.
Fabulous photos, so much wonderful art in the world. Keep making those broken parts work better. You've been an inspiration to me. I can keep learning ways to get myself back into the world. Hug, Celia
ReplyDeleteGlad you are doing well and have such a wonderful outlook. Very interesting collections of art.
ReplyDeleteA marvelous nautical world of which I have no knowledge. To remember a piece of furniture on which your mother sat does give it even more meaning. The mural are a plastic?
ReplyDeleteI always wondered where things like that ended up. Fascinating. Isn't it strange that wonderful days keep coming along?
ReplyDeleteThe trick is to keep moving even when you don't feel like it. I love the neoEgypitian wall mural.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great patio. I'm assuming that this is where there is little dust and/or dirt? I cannot imagine keeping that clean. Our patio gets so dirty that I have just the minimum of furniture on it.
ReplyDeleteThose are awesome murals. I'm so glad your hip is feeling better.
