Only small miracles

Chach says there are no coincidences, only small miracles...Yesterday Donna, Chach, Mary and I went to the Gene Autry Museum and PF Chang's and Ikea...a big day for us small town girls.  The museum was empty and I sat on the saddle and got to chase bad guys, or be chased...I am not sure which.  I did not fall off, that I do know!  But small miracle #1...I am reading the book Halfway to Heaven, about a man climbing all the "14ers" in Colorado...mountains over 14,000feet.  One of the first ones he climbed is the Mount of the Holy Cross.  He gives all the interesting background and I was intrigued so I looked it up.  It had a big cross of snow on it and a photographer named William Henry Jackson took a famous photo of it, then Thomas Moran painted a famous painting.

We walk into a gallery and there is the Moran painting on the wall.  I had just read all about it, and now here it was. live and in person.  So fun!

Another book I read this week was Gold Mountain, Lisa See's book about her family's journey from China to America.  Her great grandfather started the F. Suie One Co in Chinatown in LA.  And guess what?  Small miracle #2--The Autry Museum has an exhibit showing the F. Suie One Co!  I had just read all about it and now here it was, (almost) live and in person!  So fun!

Thanks Donna for driving your big red truck all over LA and even in the parking garage
