We just got back from a fabulous two weeks on Cape Cod. Marilyn set herself up a small studio on a table, and brought in a variety of precious objects from the beach - some rusty metal, the complete head of a striped bass, picked clean by gulls, encrusted shells, monstrous sticks, seaweed, many tiny crab shells and crab claws. She drew them on torn pieces of canvas. When it was time to pack up to leave, she meticulously packed up her pens and canvas and these very delicate pieces of nature, including the fish head, baby crabs, delicate seaweed, and some smelly snail shells, wrapping each item separately and placing them in plastic containers. It took hours.

Arriving at BWI yesterday evening, we discovered that, although all the art items arrived safely, she had forgotten to pack our money, the car key, and a few other important items. We will try to get a replacement key tomorrow and go pick up the car.
