Dale

Chihuly glass. Love it. My mother-in-law first introduced me to Dale and his out-of-the-box glass blowing technique almost thirty years ago at the Delaware Art Museum. I’ve followed and seen whatever I could since. A tiny exhibit in Golden, Colorado, the magnificent one in Colorado Springs, the Botanic Gardens exhibit, Vegas casino, the shows, the museums in Seattle and Tacoma, the installations at various institutions and train stations. I just love his creations. I love glass. If you look, you can find him! I am a groupie.

So, my son gives me a gift he got at the Denver Rescue Mission share-a-book shelf. He’s a volunteer there -something I’m prouder of than my new library acquisition. He thought of me when he found this book. However, he didn’t even know it, but it’s a signed copy, never opened by the recipient. It’s inscribed. For me, it’s like finding a Monet!

We all have treasures we either appreciate or share. Thank you, Son. I shall treasure this, because it probably was meant for me in the long run. And the recipient and donor deserve your generosity and my prayers.
