For the second time in as many months, Larry and I saw the Van Gogh exhibit at the Dallas Museum Of ART. With one difference. Our daughter Jamison joined us.

Jamison works in Dallas and passes the museum daily. She thought that it would be fun to meet and enjoy the ART together. That is exactly what we did. The exhibit was even more stunning than the first time that we saw it, if that is possible. (Maybe it is because Jami was with us?)

We visited with Jamison and we also visited a few old friends, better known as public paintings that we have become attached to over the 35 years of viewing.

Years ago, when Dale Chihuly had an installation in Dallas…Jami had the wonderful opportunity to paint with him. She had on Ked shoes that day, and he painted them for her. Recently, Mr. Chihuly, while on his rounds with Botanical Garden installations, was in Dallas. Larry and I took the shoes (as they had been unsigned) and had a nice visit with Mr. Chihuly and he signed the beloved Ked shoes. It is a sweet memory.

It was a wonderful Wednesday. I needed time with Jamison…her laugh and her kindness is inspirational.

Jamison, if you are reading this, please know how much you inspire me and how much I love you. Me.
