Texted Michelle last night, who texted
back this morning, saying she'd finished
her final this week & was '...taking
some holiday time... enjoy the beautiful
weather! Finished work on the webpages,
& began research for the next collage,
titled, 'The Politics of the Brown Paper
Bag'

4th (Monday)   [Photo Collage]
Erlly cheeful, but a little fatigued by
the course she's taking & wishing she
could go on vacation, like Michelle

5th (Tuesday)   [Photo Collage]
Texted Reanne, 'Just finished a collage
called 'The Politics of the Brown Paper
Bag'. City Hall will not be pleased :(
... :)!' Texted back, 'Lol Can't wait
to see it!'

7th (Thursday)
Tea with Reanne at Starbucks, in the St.
Regis Hotel, came into the room with
two huge, heavy bags from the Dollar
Store, & her LV bag almost as weighty
She looked totally striking. Helped her
carry her bags as we walked down Georgia
in the gently warm spring sun. Texted me
later, 'Thanks for the help today.'
Texted her back, 'Still can't believe
how much weight u were carrying!! Wow!
Sleep well...' After watching Ansel
Adams documentary, received a text
message... 'Hey it's Fran, I just
clicked on my Facebook filtered messages
& found your beautiful artwork!!!!! It's
amazing. I was totally stunned (with joy)
the rest of the evening

8th (Friday)
Text from Fran this morning, 'I love the
Empress of course followed closely by The
Battle Raven, but they are all glorious!!
And next time I come to the city we
should totally do a photo shoot
