Update and Chagall

Hi everyone, sorry I have neglected my already dull blog of late. As a part of my vacation, I decided not to blog. Brian and I spent Christmas in Minneapolis visiting with my sister, her husband, and my parents. We had a great time together, but man was it cold. Going back to work after a vacation is always a shocker. I've been working on my license application for my counseling license in the state. Brian is finishing up some things for the semester (at Harvard the semester is not over until mid-January). Speaking of January, my birthday is coming up soon. I have asked Brian for one of those mini-sewing machines called a shark. They sell them at Target. If you have ever tried one, let me know. I'm hoping to use it to hem pants, to patch up Brian's well loved jeans, and maybe to make some curtains. For the new year, well, lets just say I'm glad 2008 is over. It's time for something new in my life.

Pictured here is a painting by Marc Chagall called The Poet with the Birds which hangs in the Minneapolis Institute of Art. I liked it so much I bought a print of it that I plan to frame and hang soon. . .

Wow that is a beautiful work by Chagall. I am happy to see that you now own one of the handful of prints that exist of this piece. Chagall works look really impressive one next to the other, so I'm actually thinking about buying a couple for the bedroom. Here are some of my favorite Marc Chagall lithographs. Thanks for posting this wonderful piece.

Thanks for coming to visit Susan. It meant so much to me. I did not realize that this was the print that you ended up getting. I love it!
