been watching track and field on tv and thinking of my dad…
in his youth he was a runner and involved in many sports…
all that changed when he returned after the war… his lungs had been permanently affected from the time he spent in foxholes in the cold and rain…
watching sports on tv and attending the occasional event at the arena were fun times we spent together…
he never complained… he had a hard life, but always made the best of every situation…
a great example of how to live one’s life…

for the last four or five years one of my first acts of the New Year has been to change my Chihuly calendar from the last year to the coming one…
when I went to change it this morning and turned up the last page of the 2018 calendar it was a lovely photo of a Float Boat… I love the circular shapes and gorgeous colours and was sad that I wouldn’t see them…
when I opened up the 2019 calendar the first photo was of Mille Fiore… lovely blues and purples… the calendars have a few months before January and a few after December…
the January picture was all clear and didn’t make me at all excited…
so I changed it… cut the photo out and put it over the clear pic, lol..
I am pleased with the final product…
later in the afternoon I spent some time in the hot tub and thought of the various places I have seen Float Boats… the first place was at Chihuly Gardens and Glass in 2013 with my daughter and son-in-law when they were living on Vancouver Island…
I’ve also seen lots of photos in books on Chihuly…
and my favourite was from our visit to the Atlanta Botanical Garden in 2016…
lovely memories…
