Sue really loves old things… That’s why she loves me I guess!<\/p><\/div>\n

After a glass of champagne at the Wine Store on Main Street, we headed for the Bowers Museum in Santa Ana to see the new Japanese exhibit and also have lunch with Hannah and Thomas.<\/p>\n

The outstanding Japanese screen and scroll paintings from the Etsuko and Joe Price Collection experienced immense success as a traveling exhibition in 2006-2007, attracting over one million viewers. \u00a0For the first time in the United States, a new exhibit is set to introduce you to one of the Price Collection\u2019s greatest assets \u2013 a man considered by many to be one of the greatest artists that ever lived, yet known by very few outside of Japan. His name is It? Jakuch?. \u00a0Born in Japan in 1715, he lived as a vegetable seller and a Buddhist monk, all the while living a life devoted to illuminating the beauty of nature with the magical stroke of the artist\u2019s brush. But Jakuch? took his brush beyond just skill, making him different from all others. His works are diverse and so coupled with the heart of nature that they have an ageless quality and appeal to people from all walks of life \u2013 no scholarly explanations needed. \u00a0Jakuchu\u2019s paintings have left their mark, a stroke far beyond the capabilities of ordinary men.<\/p>\n

Amazing works from 250 years ago…<\/p><\/div>\n

Check the shirt… Directly from the car show<\/p><\/div>\n

After the visit to the museum, we headed for home to visit the babies before heading to the Elks for a full evening of dancing.\u00a0\u00a0 Brad and Susie-Q were playing and the music was fantastic.\u00a0 The crowd was small because Garden Grove had a $25,000 jackpot being drawn but the music was BIG!\u00a0 Brad and Susie-Q must be dancers because they played and played and we danced and danced all evening. \u00a0 Better for us, we had are own dance floor.\u00a0\u00a0 Another note: Brad and Susie-Q know where the volume is.. The sound was loud enough to dance but soft enough our wine did not have ripples in it and we could talk!\u00a0 The Mongels, Roberts, and Branders made for a super evening.\u00a0 Bob and Donna went to a movie.\u00a0 The Kuhn’s spent the day at a local film series.<\/p>\n
