A Better Than Average Weekend

It started with snow.  Then there was snow in the middle.  Also, there was snow at the end.  In between, there was snow.  Also, there was chili, and walking, and lots of good food and conversation!



We went to a couple museums, but I only thought to take photos at the Johnson Art Museum.



The bodhisattvas are always inspiring in deed as well as in the artwork they inspire.


This statue is a thousand and a half years old, and another bodhisattva.  He's not nearly as old as the Sumerian receipt for chickens and goats that we saw.  That was dated to 2029 BCE and had the oldest known representation of a human riding a horse!  And we saw it!  


After we left the Museum of the Earth (no pics, sorry) we went to Dano's Hueriger for some great meat products and conversation.


Bob got a new toy.

All in all, I'd say it was better than...
