I especially enjoyed participating in this show because I met so many people from other countries.  I brought my ESL students to see the show, and discovered that the wife of one of my students is one of the artists with work in the show.  Her name is Farnaz, she is from Iran, and she does the most amazing, photo-realistic, colored-pencil, floral paintings. 

Abby, Daniel and I are staying at Harvey's this week in the country so that Abby can care for the mini-horses and rabbits.  Daniel was in charge of the rabbits, but he is very allergic to them, so Abby had mercy and took over.  Both of them can take the bus to school and back, so I don't have to drive them, which is great.  We will be back home Wednesday after Easter.
