Home with Family - part two

Monday evening to Wednesday morn; we packed it full, if not with activity, then with interesting sharings and last day tasks.  Mom was a trooper, getting us to the Braintree Logan Express at 6:34 a.m. in the dark!  We will certainly miss our loved ones and the New England architecture and scenery, but now it's time to do those autumnal things one does at home as the holidays approach.

D.W. Fields Park in Brockton - the Memorial Tower

There's Jeffery!

Red Fungi

View of the Fuller Craft Museum across one of the ponds in the Park

Another of the several weirs we saw

Another train at another museum - we wondered if it was the same artist

A face plant?

Another interesting facial expression

I thought of our local "found objects artist" George Fluke when I saw this and other pieces by Leo Sewell

Uh oh!  Sara!  It's a duck staring at me!

Jeffery caught a better shot of this Leo Sewell art-ducko creation

Jimi Hendrix?  Jeffery got "in trouble" for being out on this patio, but he got his shot!

One artwork at the Fuller Craft Museum

close-up to show the workmanship

I liked this ceramic Folds piece

This carved feather was nearly see-through due to piercings in it.  The description of it said "Hand-carved white oak endgrain, steam-bent wenge spine, pyrographed and dyed".  Wonder what most of that means.

Hairy body Jewelry

What's in your wallet?

Real human hair skirt

Tea ceremony box

Tea whisks

A really bizarre dress in a really bizarre clothing collection

The cow-heads overlooking the Peaceful Meadows where we treated ourselves to ice cream cones after a day at the museum.

Jeffery makes our travelling lunches for tomorrow's flight home

The view out my airplane window in Boston.

We made it safely home.  Long flight to L.A., then a short trip to Sacramento.  Considering we got in Mom's car at 5:30 a.m. EST and sat on our fannies for the next 14 hours (on shuttles, planes, buses and cars) we felt pretty darned good when we pulled up to Tobin.  Real life commenced immediately.
