Oct 7, University Parkway Church of Christ

We went to the University Parkway Church of Christ where Ken's dad was a preacher at one time.
Rick Adsit, the current pastor, graciously offered to pick us up in order for us to go to worship.
Ken was about 6 years old when they left Baltimore and he had fun telling the preacher that he was born while his dad was giving a sermon one Sunday at this church.  Later that afternoon we visited the American Visionary Art Museum.  This unique nationally acclaimed museum is dedicated to artist without formal training, who create extraordinary works, arising from their own concepts of art.
The artwork here is wild, joyful, powerful, intense and most of all approachable. They just opened
a new display...

Bottle this one up!

Ken was such a good egg taking me to the art museum!  Hopefully, the bird stays in its nest!

Painted screens have been a fixture on Baltimore row houses since 1913, when William Oktavee
painted the first screen to advertise produce at his corner gocery in the Northeast section of the city
known as "Little Bohemia."  The screens were not just decorative--they afforded privacy and ventilation
to people sitting inside.
