Hi everyone. Happy Thursday.
Today for Rain's Art and Dinner date the theme is glass. You would think that would be an easy topic, but I was a bit stuck. I could take photos of drinking glasses, through my glass windows, or even of my actual glasses I wear for seeing. But I didn't really feel inspired by any of those ideas.
I decided I would share a few pages from my holiday art journal that relate to glass in some broad sense of the word.
A glass or glass-like mug.
Glass windows in this (above) house image.
Another glass window. And below the silver paper moon below could almost be glass-like.
And here's a photo of some not-so-smooth as glass ice on the lake where my mother-in-law's house is.
Then I remembered that back in 2017 I visited the Corning Museum of Glass in Corning, NY. Here's just a few photos from that visit.
This museum is huge, and the glass they display here is amazing. When you buy a ticket to get in, the ticket is good for 2 days. We spent a good part of a day here, and these few photos in my post don't even begin to show you what we saw.
And for the dinner part of Rain's art and dinner date, let me show you a couple of snapshots from my New Year's Eve day lunch. My husband and I happened to be in Manchester, New Hampshire, and we stopped at one of our favorite Italian restaurants, Fratello's.
I mostly filled myself up between the salad and their delicious breadsticks.
And when my baked pasta dish arrived, I could barely eat much of it at all. But that was OK; it travels well in a doggy bag. Both my husband and myself could have the rest of it for our New Year's Day meal.
I think this post is long enough for one day. For those of you who I only "see" at the end of the week, I wish you a happy New Year and hope it's started off well.
