Art fairs and train/planes art

Today I spent the day at three art fairs in Minneappolis. The largest and best known is the uptown art fair, we also went to the Loring and Powderhorn park art fairs. Except for the food I think the Loring and Powderhorn ones were the best. looked for some possible art pieces for my new townhome. Did not find anything but noticed there were no train or planes art so I thought I would post some good sites for these art catagories:

John Coker Railroad art
railroad art by Scotty ( anyone with my name should be good)
railserve ( with links to lots of railroad art)
Robert Taylor Aviation Art

Gotta have some Auburn Art too, so
Auburn Art

VBS 2006 completed

This past week 19 children took part in the vacation bible school held at our church. It was the first time I have led a VBS myself and it was both a rewarding, and exhausting experience. We used the PCUSA publishing's We Beleive VBS curriculum " A visit around the world in 5 days". This year we traveled around the USA via boat and had a lot of fun with the boat theme. I learned as much if not more this week than the kids. I learned about things like volunteer expecations being clearly defined, kids appetites, time management, difficultly levels of crafts based on kids ages, etc......... There seemed to be a great energy and buzz from the kids and families involved and I hope with this and the lessons I learned this year to have another great VBS in 2007.
