The visit to the local Bowers Museum to see the Medici Jewels and to have lunch with two of my girlfriends was a very nice day. The information regarding the cameos and intaglios that were so beautiful made one wonder about the talent that created them. It is amazing that the workmanship could be so concise when the tools were so primitive.
The Medici's fortune spurred the patronage of the arts and although collectively these people where one homely group they certainly knew about art. It is something that so many of these items survived in total. from the early 1400's.
Lunch was great and as always Tangata was filled with people visiting the museum. We were there about three hours with lunch and the museum tour. Bowers is such a gem in the middle of Santa Ana.
I stayed home afterward and got up this morning, Friday, to meet my grandson for breakfast. He is such a delightful young man. He just graduated from high school and is working and planning on going to school. It is very refreshing to see young people that are nice.
I had given him, as a gift, a portrait of my husband, his grandfather. He was so very close to his grandfather and I couldn't think of anyone that would appreciate it more then he. He said when he opened it he cried. Behind the portrait was a 30 year pin from Elks. I also gave him a card with money. I think he was pleased with the picture and I'm so glad.
Bruno left for China last night. I don't envy that flight over there. I did it in the nineties and if I recall it was seventeen hours leaving from San Francisco. He left from LAX and I believe it is between fifteen to nineteen hours depending on if China Air is non stop. He was in such a state the day before he left. I received a few emails from him and they were short and sweet. He said he would call me.
I was leaving the house on Wednesday so I thought I'd leave a voice mail telling him to call me on my Cell. I got a text back that said he was in the middle of a meeting for big dollars and don't bother him. Alrighty then!! I didn't think a voice mail was a bother.
Bruno called before he left and did apologize for his text but he said that the last several days had been brutal. I know he is dealing with millions of dollars and things aren't easy, so I understood and didn't make an issue of it, although I could have. Dealings here are tough for that much money and I can't imagine how hard China will be,especially Mainland China.
I met my girlfriend Wednesday night for dinner at the Elks in Orange and I'm meeting her again on Saturday for a Crab Fest dinner at the same place. Sunday is a movie in Newport Beach and Monday is lunch at the Balboa Bay Club. Do you see a theme here. Eat, eat, eat.
I also had a phone call from a man that I hadn't heard from for over a year or so. He just called to say hello. I've never been out with him, but have had conversations with him at various times the last several years. It is funny how they come out of the woodwork.
It isn't a problem meeting men, it is a problem meeting someone that you like and the right one. If Bruno would stop traveling he would be the right one....or not!
