Pat Smith at the Cooley Gallery

You have to see this show. My dear friend Pat has an amazing body of work. Her subtle paintings, pierced porcelain, sculptural wall hangings, the repetition of marks from her deliberate hand and the beauty of her craft, will leave you inspired! Visit the gallery and see the play of light dancing through all of her mediums!

Where did the time go?

A fun burger joint!

OK, this is such a fun place in West Hartford's Blue Back Square. http://www.thecounterburger.com/ Here is your pencil(mini golf size) and you pick your burger; beef, turkey, veggie... pick your bun, (I opted for the bowl, on a bed of baby greens), your toppings 4 out of 20 to choose, your sides...and build your own yummy lunch! Cute place with industrial decor with garage doors wide open, aluminium chairs, and freedom to choose!
