In early March, before COVID became a household word and before any of us knew how this virus would affect our lives, Marie and I took a trip to LA to visit museums and do some fabric shopping.

We took some time at the LA County Museum of Art, a favorite. On the last day, we toured the Fashion Institute of Design Museum. We had never gone to this museum before, and we were in for a special treat. 

Marie shares my love of all things fabric, and we can spend hours (and have) in fabric stores, touching everything in sight. 

We both enjoyed going to the Phoenix Art Museum to see the latest fashion exhibits.  We would study the garment, trying to figure out how it was made, and spend months after our visit still discussing what we had seen. Marie, a true artist, gave me a different appreciation of everything we saw. I never enjoyed early periods of art until Marie suggested I look at the details on the clothing.  She gave me fresh eyes for what I was seeing.

Marie also loves a good food adventure.  So we always try Ethiopian and Korean and anything else that looks inviting.
