Five For Friday.....

I made that title up, but do plan to make a list of five things, since I'll be home late this evening, it is better for me to post on my lunch hour today.

1.  It is COLD here in central Florida today.  39 when I came to work, and only 55 right now.  We'll be this way for a few days, I think.  I really don't mind.  It's nice to get out my sweaters and long-sleeved tops. 

2.  We have an opening reception tonight, for our new exhibits.  Maggie Taylor, and Louviere+Vanessa, will all three be here to talk about their work.  I so look forward to hearing the artists talk about the thought process that goes into their art.  All three are photographers.  Maggie Taylor is married to Jerry Uelsmann (http://www.uelsmann.net/), who is quite famous and has works in our permanent collection.  I love Jerry Uelsmann's work.  You might be familiar with some of his images. 

3.  There is a wholesale gift market in Orlando this weekend.  You might remember that Joe and I went back in August (they have them twice a year).  I don't think my knees will make it this time.  The parking lot is far, far, far from the doors of the Orlando Convention Center, and the Center itself is huge.  If I still had the scooter, I wouldn't hesitate.  Wish I could afford to buy one!  Also, I haven't made anything with the supplies I bought in August.  Joe keeps mentioning that I'm not creating jewelry... perhaps I should get started again before going to anymore markets! 

4.  I just finished a very fun book on my Nexus7, called "Dearly Departed in Deadwood", by Ann Charles.  I am going to start the second in the series, "Optical Delusions in Deadwood", tonight.  Both were free, and the first one was quite entertaining.  I read for entertainment, and am happy to get lost in a story and not have to think too hard about what is going on.   

5.  And last, I just wish you all a good weekend!  Hope you can relax and do only what you feel like doing.  I think that is what I'm going to do!!  Enjoy!  Peace, love & Hugs.
