MOMA


He made it to MOMA.
My son who loves Salvador Dali's
paintings and Van Gogh.
ONLY it closes in an hour!
Still goodness and blessings in
that hour. Time will multiply!
I always say an hour in a museum
is just enough!

summer. Cousin lives in New Haven!

We went to a Salvador Dali exhibit when we were on vacation in Santiago, Chile. David loved it until his brain went on Dali overload . . . by the end he quipped, "Mom, if you've seen one Dali, you've seen them all . . ."
