A fun art trip! My wife's first time going across I-90 in South Dakota and into Minnesota. We took our time to reach our destination but scampered back on I-80 to home.
Was nice to have the time for side trips and detours for artsy reasons.

My brother and his wife are having a Reveal party for their friends in its new home in their home in Pennsylvania.

After their ceremony, I'll surely share photos. Coming up in a couple weeks I think.

We had to shave our cat because of burrs and hair matting except for her head. Your pup wins the strangest look contest by far!

BobMarzewski @bmarzewski.bsky.social · 18d

All the way to their home and back it would have been more like 6500 miles!

We're a big country.
(I just wish we were a lot more democratic these days.)

We took a northern path across Interstate 90 with a few side trips TO
our destination and a slightly more southerly path across Interstate 80 straight BACK home so my wife would see some of the country she'd never been to. That added maybe 1000 miles to the shortest possible trip.

Had we gone

I knew it would having made (and lost) another glass map to Wildfire, but first viewing of a new piece is always stirring.

BobMarzewski @bmarzewski.bsky.social · 18d

Yes, my fingers were in pretty good shape before we left to deliver the map.

I still have a couple weeks worth of work to finish the other map that I'll be keeping so I'll be using more bandaids soon.

Right now, I'm recovering from the 4655 mile cross country trip to get it to Don & Janeen.

I know my brother Don knows where they are putting it in their home, but I'm not familiar enough with their place to know more. I said and they can understand that the more light the better.

His daughter, a New Yorker, said it should be in the Met (museum).

the 77lb bundled up map to the kitchen table.

Only my wife and I knew what was in the bundle we brought.

Here is the the moments of revelation.

Glass Maps 19:the Reveal

My wife & I bundled up Map B and drove it to Galena, Illinois where we met my brother & his wife who came from the Philadelphia area. My other brother joined us from Michigan.

Shortly after we moved our suitcases into a B&B, my brothers brought

Hilarious!

BobMarzewski @bmarzewski.bsky.social · 21d

Good thoughts for some bleak times.
Thanks!

I just got home from a 5000 mile cross country road trip. Arrival at home was best gift I got.

BobMarzewski @bmarzewski.bsky.social · 21d

My birthday, too! Hope you had a great one!

BobMarzewski @bmarzewski.bsky.social · 27d

We had considered it but we're now in Iowa heading home via I-80 soon.

This is only my wife's second big cross country drive and as much as we'd like to see everything, we've had to be selective so as to meet with family today. A couple days to visit then back to CA.

Maybe next trip! Thanks.

Here are a few of the exotic animals.

As we left House of Balls (see previous post), Allen's wife told us we should visit another outdoor art sculpture nearby in St. Paul, MN.

Impressive! Good work.

is his birthday today and he was feeling down and he thanked us for lifting his mood.

Nice guy and fellow burner and I wish his gallery was a thousand miles closer to our home.

Happy Birthday Allen!

filled with hundreds of art pieces and seeing everything in the 2 hours we spent with Allen would be impossible. The kinda place that you see something new every time you look again.

An added bonus was that it

Minneapolis was still ahead of us but 100 miles out of the way, but what's a meer 100 miles for someone I HAD TO SEE.

Worth every mile! I will recommend it to anyone who loves wacky sculpture. The place isn't huge but is big enough to be
