Oscar Party

Sunday February 24th

We got a call from Thompson's after they got back from Church to see if we were up for doing anything.  They had mentioned the art museum in Palm Springs, so we opted for that.  We met them at their condo and visited for a while and then went to the art museum.  There was an exhibit by two brothers from Brazil that will be closing in the near future.  A lot of their work was examples of stuff that they had seen in the poorer districts of Sao Paulo.  Items made of cardboard, chairs made from packing materials, etc.  They also had a lot of western art, including bronze works by Remington.  Another section was Indian pottery (many from New Mexico) and Indian baskets made by the local Palm Springs Indians and by the tribe that lives near Lake Havasu City.  We spent several hours there and then adjourned to Jack in the Box for a quick supper. 

When we got back to their condo the Oscar Party commenced.  Cathey missed the red carpet viewing but we saw most of the awards.  Gary supplied the popcorn and kept it coming all evening; a great time was had by all!
