A minor problem compared with coming home yet again to NO INTERNET and NO PHONE. Plus, the upstairs toilet tank and leaked downstairs into my sewing room, ruining many things that were in that corner and leaving a mildewy smell in the carpet. DId my husband notice? Did he call the plumber?
I believe the universe is trying to warn me off going away, ever again.
Nonetheless, this was a worth-it trip. San Jose's weather was perfect. Linda (from Sunny St. Petersburg) Dawson, Laura Beehler, Leslie Jenison and I spent quite a bit of time at one particular outdoor café and we did a fair amount of wandering around, taking inspiration photos. Here are a couple of mine.
And then there were the to-die-for ceramic pieces of public art by Jun Kaneko, whose work I posted about last year when I saw such a wonderful exhibition at the Morikami Museum in Florida. And he prints textiles, too!

So, back to real life and the humid New Jersey weather. But soon enough we will be complaining about the cold, so I will enjoy the heat while I can.
