We were ready for T to get here today. He arrived around 2:00. Before that, H and I checked out the windows at Bergdorf's.
We were glad to see T! He was happy to be here.
We had lunch and then walked down 6th Avenue and enjoyed a street fair.
I love the way the other buildings and the clouds are reflected in the building windows. We stopped along 53rd at some artists' booths and then H noticed that an exhibit at the American Folk Art Museum was by an artist she was familiar with, Henry Darger. I have just learned, since this trip, about "outsider artists." These are artists who create "outside" the boundaries of culture. While in Baltimore last spring, we visited the American Visionary Art Museum, a museum dedicated to self-taught artists. H became very interested after that trip with outsider artists and Creative Growth, a facility in Oakland, CA that nurtures, through art, those with disabilities.
This braided "rug" was made with Wonder bread wrappers.

After the American Folk Art Museum, H went to get a haircut and T and I went to MoMA and rested in the Sculpture Garden. This was our view. "Does this marble make my butt look big?"
H brought this home on Friday. She has one more week.
Dinner Saturday night at Milos.
So glad T is there. He looks no worse for wear....and you look like you missed him! Looking forward to your week together! And certainly you have fab stuff planned!
