First Wife |
Vestments |
My favorites were FIRST WIFE, made from what looks like hosta leaves, covered with cast paper and if you look carefully, you see arrows sticking out of the upper portion of the figure, with drops of blood on the wall. And I also like GUILT, what looks like an altarpiece from a church, covered in gold, but on the edges one can see labels from various temptations: butter labels, a Godiva chocolate label, and truffles. Finally, the VESTMENT object is made of tea bags, each dismantled, connected, and she uses the labels, like Lipton's, as well as the string as decoration. It's all enormously times consuming and creative.
After the show, we went to DE John's Italian Spaghetti, a little Italian joint in town and we really liked it. The owners are third generation, and its been in the same place since the 1930's; the main part is an actual dining car from a railroad, surrounded by additions. We got to talking with the owner, actually its his wife's family. He was very outgoing, told us all about Fredonia and the surrounding areas, places to visit. Interestingly, he's also from Fredonia, and his father has had a barber shop in town for quite a while and he works at it during the day, at the restaurant at night. We had a beer at at the bar as we waited for our pizza, which we took home because we afraid of the weather turning icy. It was a place worth stopping for. I forgot to mention that as we talked about the menu, he went back and gave us two meatballs with sauce to try because it was homemade from the Grandma's recipe. Evie said she would like to drink the sauce it was so good.
A miserable, rainy day so far, in the 40's already, and it's not supposed to get any better. Tomorrow perhaps 3/5 inches of snow if it cools down. Lots of flood watches around here today.
We went to the gym, worked out because of the terrible weather outside, hit the library, picked up three books on reserve, and came home for lunch, a salad with salmon and pita chips. We ended up vegging out, watch a movie with De Niro and Franco called CITY BY THE SEA on Netflix. It was a B-, the story of a cop whose son, because of his drug problems, gets in serious trouble. Not much else to do today except wait for dinner, read some, surf the web, and wait for our movie, our second time watching THE SOCIAL NETWORK. I hope we like it more the second time than the first.
We just finished making oatmeal/raisin/nut/chocolate chip cookies. We had nothing sweet for after dinner tonight, so we whipped them up quickly, between the two of us.
