Frank Lloyd Wright Exhibit

My kind of graffiti!

The truly breath-taking Milwaukee Art Museum

Happily, the weather is much improved in Milwaukee this week. Things are looking up. I intended on going to the big car show yesterday after lunch, but when I showed up at the Frontier Center, the doors were closed and the sign said they wouldn't open until 3:00. Rats! So, I wondered around and eventually went back to the room to wait. As 3:00 approached, it became apparent that a nap would be in my future unless I caffeinated myself. I finally decided that sleep would be more important than an auto show since I got in late last night and would be staying up all night. I can hardly believe having to make that choice, I mean really; taking a NAP instead of looking at CARS! For us night-shift types, sleep trumps just about everything else, especially as you get older. Anyway, there's the rest of the week to make it to the show after I get my day sleep pattern established.
So, for today, which was predicted to be the least cold (38 degrees), I decided to make the half hour trek to the Art Museum for the Frank Lloyd Wright exhibit, and I'm sure glad I did! Milwaukee has a very interesting architectural presence...kinda whimsical actually. The best thing I saw, though, was some graffiti on the wall of a side alley...it succeeded in lightening my day considerably. Maybe there is hope for us! The museum itself is quite beautiful, and I spent almost two hours enjoying Mr. Wright's work. It brought back memories of visiting Taliesin West with Michelle and the girls, and seeing Fallingwater with my dad.
