Last week we went to the Getty Museum, one of our favorite things to do on a Sunday.  The building itself is a work of art, and it has some decent Impressionist paintings, but not enough of my favorite, Renoir... It's also a wonderful place to bring a picnic and enjoy the view and the sun.  This Sunday we visited the Getty Villa and felt as if we were stepping back in time as we gazed at mummy portraits and at Greek and Roman statues... I wonder if any present-day sculptors could reproduce such evocative and lifelike images, or if it's an art lost to time?  On the way home we stopped for a late lunch at the place where we were married... all in all, a perfect day.   

We missed Kavanna, who was sleeping through the night as we looked at art... Sweet dreams, Kavanna!

I love your pics! You all have lots to smile about these days...and November will be here before you know it. Nobody should have to wait as long as you and the many others have been waiting but when I see Kavanna, there's no doubt that she is worth it. :)
