Like last month, I'm cutting it close to get my 5 photos in 5 minutes posted for Sandie's monthly meme: 5 in 5. And like last month, I have had several opportunities to create a post, but didn't get to it. Today, however, I had another opportunity. It's a gorgeous fall day in Wisconsin, and our grandson, Caleb, had a day off from school so we went to Milwaukee for the day. One of our stops was the fabulous Milwaukee Art Museum. In addition to a stunning building and wonderful collections, they also have the "Kohl's Art Generation Studio." It a hands-on studio that provides art activities for families. Today's activity was print making. After creating his etching, the volunteer helped Caleb create a print. It took less than 5 minutes.
After the art museum, we found a great pizza place that was within walking distance to Boswell Book Company. It's a great independent book store. I've been getting their emails for a while now, and thanks to them, Sarah and I spent a delightful evening last night listening to Ann Patchett who is on a book tour for her new novel The Dutch House. I'd never been to the book store so it was a perfect opportunity. I managed to restrain myself but Caleb came home with a new book as well as one for Hannah.
