Happy Father's Day, Dad!
And to all Dad's (and fill-in Dad's) who are there for their kids.

‘I Am an Artist’ Takes Young Readers on a Colorful Journey Through Art Mediums












Starting in a vast complex of studios large and small, a new children’s book written by Doro Globus and illustrated by Rose Blake introduces readers to a cast of characters with myriad approaches to making art. There’s an artist who cuts and sews scraps of found fabrics, another who waxes poetic about an ocean-smoothed stone, and glassblowers who brave the heat of the kiln to shape supple vessels. Rendered in bold, bright colors, I Am an Artist asks “What is an artist and how do they work?”

Published by David Zwirner Books, the newly released title is the second collaboration between Globus and Blake and follows Making a Great Exhibition, which introduced readers to the more logistical side of an art career that, frankly, is mystifying for many adults. Pick up a copy on Bookshop.

We disembarked  at TOPOCK 66  a restaurant on the water where you moor your boat, walk the decks, climb the stairs and are given an ice cold water at the top for making it.



                                                  the only restaurant I have seen with a pool!


Now at 4PM, 4 of the crew are in the pool, 1 is taking a nap, and this writer is going to do the same. We are all in wait for GH#3, Zack, GH#1, Jordan, who both had to work, and Rocky (Raquel) Jordan's fiancé as of 5/28/2024, so we will be 9! 


Dr. Larry and First Mate, Tina are Rocky's parents, 
so it is a real family affair.

Jacki, I loved the photos of your dad together with you. Now that we are in about the same age as he was in the second pic we know exactly that it's the best and happiest time when you can spend it with your family - as you and I did today. Thanks for all your lovely photos.

Jacki, I forgot to tell that I've never experienced 113 degrees. Everything over 95 is really hot for me. Maybe one can get used to it?

Thank you Elenor, twice! Yes it was a good weekend, but I was a zombie on Monday!
