Part of it is visible in the picture below of the black and gold pumpkin in a white room. There was also an exhibit

Long weekend in Charleston, SC in mid-March, 2026 - my first time there. First of all, my hotel! The Vendue and The Enclave at the Vendue are linked boutique, art hotels. I was at The Enclave, where everything is yellow, and there is an Artist-in-Residents. At The Vendue, everything is red, and they have a nice rooftop bar, where I watched a sunset.

For those that are unable to travel to Rochester to see it, I've

The flight in (there was a brush fire at a park near Vegas): Airport, conference, hotel, and The Sphere from the ground: The conference rented out the High Roller Ferris Wheel for a night! Great view of The Sphere (with my coworker Konnie). The Venetian: “Wow - The Vegas Spectacular” at the Rio Hotel: Bellagio Fountain

I started doing Ukrainian egg dyeing when I was eight years old, so I've been doing them with my mom for about 35 years now! She learned from a Ukrainian friend of hers.
