The New Chapter Begins

Image 4 Comments

I was at the grocery store yesterday and when I was about to begin a hike today I remembered that I’d left my umbrella on a shopping cart.

After the hike, I returned to the store and inquired at customer service and – good news – my umbrella was there!  In addition, the September issue of Syracuse Woman hit the stands and I’m in it!  I’m a Mover & Shaker!!!  So cool.

And, this happened…

One euro, $3.10 in Canadian coins and eight cents more including a 1943 steel wheatie!

I am now up to $8.26 in found money for 2024.  Pretty great start to the new chapter in my life.  #nobacktoschoolforme

There is an art exhibition of original paintings, posters and magazine covers representing the career of illustrator Norman Rockwell at Munson-Williams-Proctor Arts Institute, 310 Genesee Street, Utica, NY 13502. This show was organized by the Norman Rockwell Museum in Stockbridge, Massachusetts.

All of the Saturday Evening Post covers are represented here! It is amazing to see them all together like this – they hold court in two of the three gallery rooms on the second floor of the museum.

I won tickets to see this show. Thank you, Sullivan Library, Chittenango, NY for this wonderful gift. And thank you, Penny, for accompanying me on this wonderful summer art excursion. So fun!

Munson-Williams-Proctor Arts Institute is open Tuesday-Saturday 10:00 AM -5:00 PM and Sunday noon-5:00 PM. They have guided tours of the exhibit – call (315) 797-0000 for more information.

P.S. They are having an arts festival through Sunday, July 17, 2022. There are outdoor events including a music stage, local art display and food trucks!
