This is one of my favorite places to visit in Balboa Park. They have some great exhibits - and jewelry.

And an old favorite back in Illinois; some beautiful dioramas.

Those look to be very interesting! I’ll have to visit if I’m ever in those cities.
The carvings in the dioramas reminded me of the fetishes (a usually handcrafted object (such as a carving) of spiritual significance that is believed to have the power to protect or aid its owner) made by the Zuni Tribe in NM. I have a friend/former coworker who is a fetish carver and a member of a family (Quam) well known for their pieces. I have two of his pieces, one which is an animal that is associated with the meaning of my name.

I have asked for this so many times. I have to assume sometimes people don’t want us to know where they are.

Marilyn, you must have loved doll houses when you were little.
My siblings (who travel a ton) do this often — post a photo with little or no explanation. Eventually they may share location. 
I’m not sure I ever had one. But I learned as an adult that I do like crafting.

There definitely is satisfaction in building and even repairing something you value. It’s great folks are finding things they enjoy with their time.

I have to make a point of making this my view at least once a year. There was a time when my husband had to start teaching mid August and we didn’t claim our time and I regret it!

You weren’t in northern MA yesterday were you?
No, that picture is from last year.
One of the Blue Angels took a close pass by the Space Needle during SeaFair today. I texted son and he said it came by “screaming loud.” “So you heard it but didn’t see it?” I asked. His reply, “Oh believe me I saw it.” His apartment faces Seattle Center from a block away.
Edit to add this is not his photo!

One of the Blue Angel pilots is the son of a close friend. 
He was such a quiet, reserved kid that it’s hard to imagine him flying like that!

Back to School must be done.
Wife just informed me that Dunkin Donuts pumpkin spice products are due out shortly.
In August. Hot August….
