Good Morning Everyone!
Sorry to have missed WCA, but I'm intending on coming next weekend! I've got a Buff Orpington roo and some lavender cockerels to pass on! And hopefully not bring anything home.
Scott, you may have heard a Guinea pig called a cavvy.
Went to the Art Institute of Chicago yesterday with my sis, who is an art professor. I was a disappointing companion. I'm far more interested in antiques of practical usage than paintings and sculptures that only the rich would ever have owned or had done of themselves. She really wanted to "educate me", but I started talking about the biological and agricultural aspects of some of the paintings, so she finally gave up.
I did get her to look at the collection of pikes and pole axes as weapons that had been used in past battles and killed people, and got her to notice the dents in armour, instead of just looking at the styles from one country to the next. Sometimes I wonder how we managed to grow up together and be so different. Regardless, it was fun...more for her than me as I don't like driving in big cities, and my GPS couldn't work there with al the skyscrapers. I literally could not see the sky while driving. That bothered me. I'm most definitely a country girl!
Back to Athens, Georgia today to take Sis home, then home Tuesday.
Enjoy the day, everyone!
