Stained Glass Classes Ending

For the last year, I've taken stained glass classes at Glass Warehouse, on Broadway. When we moved here, I was shocked to discover there weren't many places for true glasswork and instruction. Yes, I could paint my own pottery, but that's not my interest. Apparently, during the last financial crash (2008 or so), almost all of the shops that catered to glasswork enthusiasts closed in the greater Denver metro area. But Glass Warehouse remained, mostly because Connie and her husband live above the shop.

I love my class, and the instructor, Becky MacKenzie, is just excellent. She's taught me much more, and more effectively, than anything I learned in Madison. And, the Friday group is pretty cool. The women are interesting and not crazy and several are real artists.

We had bad news yesterday. Well, bad for us, not for Connie, the owner. She's retiring and selling the building, and our classes will end, by early December. Sigh.

Our Old Girl

We thought we were going to have to say goodbye to our girl this week. She had a few terrible days and our hearts almost broke. A visit to the Vet turned her around. More pain meds, more often, to soften the pain and help with her arthritis. She's not a new dog, but she's clearly more comfortable. I'll take it, for now.

The art deco city on the Pacific. Great architecture and even better people watching. And a perfect night at the Matisse Wine Bar. Excellent wine, food and service, made even better by a picture perfect evening for sitting outdoors.

Made it, a day late, but not totally wiped out. The city is beautiful and we lunched at a cafe waterside. Our delay meant we didn’t make it to Waiheke Island, but we made the best of our one night in town. Something tells me I’ll be repeating this phrase for weeks, but the people are just lovely. The vibe is relaxed and so, so comfortable.
