Thoroughly enjoyed the vicarious trip...now to plan a real one, as soon as chance affords. Hmmm.<br /><br />Very best,<br />Natalie in KYZipZiphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04088551086336264968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8851840366251143291.post-60992340978702425212010-09-20T06:59:53.029-04:002010-09-20T06:59:53.029-04:00Nabila, I've always wanted to go to Egypt...I&...Nabila, I've always wanted to go to Egypt...I'll add it to my wish list! ;-)Jennihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11894247974983793889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8851840366251143291.post-4310219120559188382010-09-19T23:18:42.726-04:002010-09-19T23:18:42.726-04:00Oh my!

I am a lover of music so the two combined! :oP Well that makes for a good day :o) I suggest your next international trip to go to the Cairo museum :oP Now THATS a museum to hit history and art :o)Nabila Gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12685042701889986697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8851840366251143291.post-24543433123863182532010-09-19T21:39:49.562-04:002010-09-19T21:39:49.562-04:00Nabila, I've been to several of the art museum...Nabila, I've been to several of the art museums in D.C. a couple of times, actually....they are certainly drool-worthy and inspiring places. I once experienced an orchestra playing in one of the inner courtyards of the National Gallery of Art. The natural accustics of the domed shaped ceiling caused the sound to vibrate into your skin. It was like living in the most beautiful sound you could imagine...and all that time, being surrounded by priceless works of art.<br /><br />Diane, I would say it is high time for you to make another trip to that museum, and reclaim your "special spot". It's still yours, you know! And what fun that you can now fill the rest of that bench with three or four others who might benefit from an outing to the museum. Every time I make it back to an art museum, I walk away with that strange feeling of "now THAT'S what I was missing." Beauty is a gift from God, and our soul yearns for it.Jennihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11894247974983793889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8851840366251143291.post-15350833908270859432010-09-19T19:27:21.195-04:002010-09-19T19:27:21.195-04:00Heavens to Betsy, what a treat this post is!

I am also a tremendous fan of Sargent's portraits. We have a wonderful example in the closest "big" city museum closest to us. It's of a mother and her sons and oh how I adore just gazing at it. That and a Monet are the things I simply have to tear myself away from almost by force... sigh. When I was young and single I lived within walking distance of that museum and the bench in front of the Monet was my <i>special spot</i>. I'd feel quite affronted if I came into that gallery to find someone else already sitting there, lol.Diane Shifferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03449110271720365988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8851840366251143291.post-6339376549993236992010-09-18T21:30:10.280-04:002010-09-18T21:30:10.280-04:00Oh my goodness I believe I drooled! :o) I LOVE you...Oh my goodness I believe I drooled! :o) I LOVE your teapot! I don't have one either :o( One of the fun things I have been looking for in thrift stores. I LOVE all the museum pics! My favorite thing to do when I visit my dad is to go the the "Mall in DC" to the art museums and just spend hours looking at each piece of art! It's so inspiring. Thank you for the tid-bit of museum viewing today! :o)Nabila Gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12685042701889986697noreply@blogger.com
