No Kidding!

"Patchy areas of fog...some locally dense with visibilities below 1 mile along and east of Interstate 35...will continue through mid morning or 9 am CST. Take necessary precautions if traveling across the eastern half of North Texas this morning. If you do encounter any localized dense fog...always use low beams and allow extra time to reach your destination this Holiday weekend."

The view down the street towards the courthouse this AM...

Morning ritual: answer phone calls and check blog, drink coffee, smoke...

Art Exhibit “Los Dias de los Muertos - The Days of the Dead” at Carrie Garner’s Galleria d’Arte

L
os Dias de los Muertos, the Days of the Dead, is a traditional Mexican holiday honoring the dead. It is not a sad time, but instead a time of remembering and rejoicing.

Celebrate this magical time as Carrie Garner’s Galleria d’ Arte welcomes back artist extraordinaire and gallery friend, Kim Lanus, with a gallery reception on Saturday,
November 11, 2006 from 7pm to 10pm.

Lanus
has created a series of paintings that feature “Katrina,” her patron image of Los Dias de los Muertos. In addition to the “Katrina” series, Lanus will also debut several new paintings inspired by the famous Mexican painter, Frida Kahlo.

Lanus
’ paintings are created on tin and wood in the old retablos and Italian style of painting. All pieces are sealed for longevity. Lanus’ collectors include former ABC anchorman, Sam Donaldson and President George W. Bush.

The gallery will be swaying to the sounds from salsa band, Watusi World Beat.
Co-sponsors of the celebration are BLING!, Cadillac Pizza Pub, D’Vine Wine, Main Street McKinney, Market Street, Market Square Antiques, and Poppy’s Garden CafĂ©. Admission is free, so grab some friends and join this lively celebration of the arts and the community.
