To see myself through his eyes

On Saturday it was "Museum Day" - museums nationwide were allowing free entrance. My boyfriend seized on the idea of a museum date.

First, we went to the nearly empty Ohio Historical society.  The inside was disorienting and strange - what can I say? We are easily confused.  In any case, we found our way to the "Ohio Village" which is outside on the Museums grounds, which was a relief.

We then went to the Art Museum and saw a mosaic brought in from Lod, Israel, and an extensive collection of Elijah Pierce's woodcut paintings. Both were amazing.

We also explored various interactive items intended for children (we had attracted kids at the Ohio Historical Society previously when we did the seesaw and began swinging nauseatingly high on the swing set - it was that kind of day).

Just now, I looked up and saw a drawing stuck to my wall. He had put it there sometime that day or the next day. But I didn't see it till now. It was of me in the art museum - he drew it while I was looking at the Elijah Pierce paintings.

It makes me feel loved to see myself through his eyes.
