The San Francisco Treat-


Our trip to San Francisco was so much fun and go, go, go......

We had wonderful meals (and it seemed as though we were always eating)- We traveled the city and went over the bridge to the beautiful hills of Marin. The weather was fabulous, and sunny, with gorgeous sunsets to complete the package. One of the amazing things we did, was to visit the gallery called "Creativity Explored" which is a huge studio space where developmentally challenged individuals come each day to paint, draw, and create works of sculpture and ceramics, which are sold in their gallery up in front of the studio. We walked around and talked to the artists, and they shared their ideas about their art. We got to watch them in action, and interact with them. It was so inspiring! Tracey and I each picked through hundreds of pieces of art until we finally narrowed it down to 3 for me, and 3 for her. I wanted to get even more! It is a fantastic place, and you shouldn't miss it, if you are in the area. You can visit their web address and see the profiles of some of their artists. The program and gallery has been operating since 1983, and each artist comes every day to paint. WOW- it was cool.....check it out at: http://www.creativityexplored.org (Vincent was wonderful, as well as John Patrick McKenzie, in fact,all of the artists were great)

What a great place to be able to go see our daughter. We Had A Ball, THANKS BUFFY....
