This year, for the first time in four years, Simone renewed a cherished family tradition: the Thanksgiving Studio Tour. Okay, so it's not as though Simone actually had to organize very much. She simply informed family members of the day and time of departure, she printed off a map of the studio locations, got some snacks together and everyone hopped into the car for a ride through the countryside.
What a beautiful day it was! The sun shone bright through the orange, red and yellow foliage and the breeze blew warm enough that driving with the windows rolled down became a pleasant experience. The little guy got his first taste of pottery, paintings, photography and jewelry on this outing. He also heard the much familiar phrase "Look with your eyes, not with your hands!" for the first time. He failed on two occasions: at the specialty hat store and at an oil painting gallery. Both times, the gallery - store owners ousted little B. But for the rest of the tour, he was very well received.
Apple cider, fresh apples, beautiful artwork and wonderful company - even if most of them did doze off on the ride back through traffic. Definitely a must repeat sort of event!
