My trip to AZ a couple of weeks ago yielded ZIP, NADA, ZERO other than empty paper coffee cups and 5 rocks I picked up at stops along the way. <BR/>Vunderbar!<BR/>I was shocked, being in Winslow, at LaPosada where I THOUGHT the gift shop would hold "essentials". Ah, not so.<BR/>Namaste......Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15343930089802454694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8714115113849503325.post-61548259489599776592009-02-01T02:01:00.000-06:002009-02-01T02:01:00.000-06:00With me, it's books.

Now I rely more on the library.Christina RN LMThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03260505524676910667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8714115113849503325.post-4848544461028425352009-01-30T08:32:00.000-06:002009-01-30T08:32:00.000-06:00Vicki: They had a limited budget when they started...Vicki: They had a limited budget when they started collecting in the 1880's, and several other cities had started museums at the same time, so art prices were rising. They have had a few nice pieces donated from private collections, but mostly they are minor works from major artists, and major works from lesser-knowns - like most smaller civic institutions. Their forte now is as a stopping place for traveling exhibitions. I understand that they have had some really good ones in the last 20 years, and almost 1/2 of the space on the main floor of the building is dedicated to this.M.E.

I'm surprised it's not bigger, but I guess most folks in the Midwest go to Chicago for their art fix.vxbushhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07698977468877869165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8714115113849503325.post-88998948910988297472009-01-30T01:17:00.000-06:002009-01-30T01:17:00.000-06:00Incidentally, I have been getting into Dave Ramsey...Incidentally, I have been getting into Dave Ramsey as well. As you may or may not have been aware, I did not manage my finances well while I was in Chicago and was in need of some wisdom. I had heard excellent things about Dave Ramsey and have just started looking into his teachings myself. I am curious to learn what you think of him.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18285758669487205126noreply@blogger.com
