Journey to Oz, a fourteenth century pub and a Lacrosse game in England

November 20, 2011

Enough of this cancer trip. Time to go down the yellow brick road and visit my daughter and her family. The youngest played Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz. How could I not go and miss that? On Saturday both girls played Lacrosse. Funny, I go to England to watch Lacrosse which is a team sport developed in America. The laws of “football” or soccer were codified in Britian. Last year I blogged World Cup Soccer while watching TV in America. It was a good way to learn the game. I gave myself a project, watch all the games and post a blog after each game. I took pictures of the plays on TV , then paired them with photos I took in  South Africa.

John Janca’s Photos of the installation of my show are beautiful, nice and sharp. I’ll post them soon. My son-in-law took these photos of the church. The afternoon light was just perfect.

Both girls have sketchbooks that I started when they were born.

During our pub lunch we sketched. I’ll add to the books  photographs of the girls.

They will see what they looked like at different stages in their development.

Sunshine!! After weeks of rain the sun came out. So did all the residents of this small town. By the two pink balloons there was a stage where some high school girls in checkered full skirts danced and sang songs from the musical Oklahoma. Being low tide the beach was used as a parking lot. At the end of the day,  kids who were playing in tide pools cautiously picked their way back to dry land.cornwall_MG_7419 copy

Sometimes this computer business drives me crazy!

The server I was using for my blog conked out on me. The web?  From where I sit the possibility of getting a connection to the internet is iffy. I need to learn how to do this myself.  My extremely patient teachers will be pleased to hear this. I can’t take credit for these photos. The three halloween pics were sent to me from my son-in-law. This witch knows more about the computer than I do!

I’m back!
