UK Soon!

look closely and you can see us swimming laps in the splashes and waves

This is my pool, the amazing Horace Mann pool, one of the few outdoor pools left in this state where one can actually swim laps and not get a toy thrown at them in a waterpark. Tom Thorson painted this and I bought it from him years ago, it measures 30 inches by 36 inches. If  you look closely in the waters, you can see swimmers bobbing about and coming up to the surface. I love it because I always have to stop and look for swimmers. The clouds are doing laps, and the beautiful sacred Black Hills are in the background. This is how they look..Tom is a fine painter. Imagine getting out of breath and I could hang at the far end and have that view while I waited to do more laps. One summer Brookie and I swam 25 miles by adding our laps up that summer, and won a tee shirt saying We Swam 25 Miles! I am wondering if I will bring that T shirt with me to UK. Or if I can take the painting..if it doesn’t sell, can a person, like they do in the movies, actually roll up an oil on canvas  and then stash it in the wall, or in this case, in a suitcase bound for England??
