Day 134 The Hobbit House

Day 134

Our friends took us to Thomas Meyers' earth shelter home and studio.  Tom is a master of many things, a true Renaissance Man.   He makes intricate geometric quilt like mirrors and frames out of glass.  Not just any glass, but metallic, flash, textured and handsomely designed.  I am sure Frank Lloyd Wright would approve!  See them below and the link to his website.  They will be finding their way into our guest bathroom very soon!

Tom also makes collaged drawings that are sophisticated minimalism at  it's best.  I noticed a vintage Italian expresso machine.  He asked if I'd like a cup.  I hadn't had a descent cup of coffee since I left home. So I took him up on it.  Deeeelish, Tom. 

My photo doesn't do it justice.

What a treat to visit, and meet Tom.  Here's his website:  thomasmeyersstudio.com

Day 133 A Currier and Ives Painting

Day 133

We stayed with our friends in their beautiful cape cod home.  It was so hard to get a good picture of Sammie in the snow.  Can you see her?

Leaning against the house, Sam refused to put her toes in the snow.  :-)

Day 132 Peterboro New Hampshire

Day 132

We took a 3 hour train ride to New Hampshire.  The conductor in NY told me that the box Sam was in was too large, and I may be thrown off the train.  We sat nervously for 2 stops, and the new conductor could have cared less.  I was prepared to buy Sam her own ticket, and seat her in the "quiet car."
Visiting our friends in Peterboro New Hampshire. Lots of snow still on the ground, New England personified in this quaint town.  We had lunch at Nonie's.  Our waitress commented on my skull jewelry, so I knew Sam would be welcome.

Day 131 Sally And The Party Van

Day 131

Our day in Manhattan couldn't have been possible without our Party Van driver, Sally.  We met her last November, and she is our ride when we come to NY and NJ.  Her van has colored lights inside, music, and Sally at the wheel.  She was able to weave in and out of NYC with ease.  She would point to landmarks, and I called her "my director" by the end of our day.
If you need transportation from any airport in NY or NJ, call SALLY:  201-424-4033
Tell her Sam the Skeleton sent you. :-)

Off to New Hampshire.

Thanks Sally for a great ride!
