News From Browntown

Auntie Char and I are taking the responsibility for reviewing the second art event for the family this month. We attended the Miller Galler opening of Kris's show at Bridgewater College on Monday. Her work was, of course, lovely. She included some pieces that featured a technique using beeswax. They were really beautiful! The wax adds such a unique quality to the image and Char and I both were so impressed with the show overall. Char signed up for the mailing list and will keep me informed of events.

The gallery is small and very nice. The gallery director is also an instructor at Bridgewater. He and Char knew some folks in common in the academic world there in Harrisonburg - work colleagues and such. He is also a potter and we were quite taken with the pottery used to serve the food for the reception! Beautiful stuff!

Kris is moving forward in transition mode with one foot here in the U.S. and one foot "across the pond". Christian was there and we had a moment to talk. He seems to be looking forward to the prospect of being in Germany soon. Dad and I are hoping to get together with them for at least a brief visit before they leave the U.S.

The Lion of March paid a commanding visit to Browntown and vicinity yesterday. Incredible winds and the tin roof roared all night long!! Sunshine and heavy blowing snow today on the way to work was an odd combination - although pretty typical of early Spring in the Valley!
