Ending if 2015

Decided to squeeze in a couple of things before they left town. Enjoyed the Marie Hull exhibit at the Museum of Art. It was interesting to see how her art progressed throughout her long, prolific career. She started out very detail oriented early in her art to these abstracts that were the last in the exhibit. 

Ryan had been wanting to see our friend Scott's exhibit, Lego Jackson. It was amazing. 

That is Scott in the center back in the wheelchair. He has MS but overcomes that obstacle to increase this project every year. How appropriate that Fondren Corner where Sophie and Paul first lived is right here! I hear that next year there will be a Lego figure of Paul wearing his Find it in Fondren shirt!

Next we enjoyed the bottle tree garden. 

I especially liked the glass insulator ones. 

Can you guess where we had lunch? Karen or Kathy? The elite of course. We sent the boys (Ryan and Paul) back to work and headed to check out the new paint at Mary Grace and Ryan's house. It looked great. We got so inspired that we came back the next morning and painted the fireplace. 

The old dark mantel will be replaced by an as yet undetermined chunk of wood. Wish we had that old one out of the Riverwood house. 

Got so carried away that we forgot to take befores!! Here it is at Thanksgiving. 

Dark brick and goldish walls. I'll take some better pics when all is back in place.
