The closing

My friend Paula Galang
dropped in on the way home
from work and took this picture of
Steven and me at the show with her
iPhone.
Thanks Paula

Our show closed tonight. It was so wonderful. I'll miss
the space, the people who visited that I just met,
and the entire experience. Just fantastic. Great
friends of mine drove in from Hamilton to see it,
and then raced back to another opening in their
own city. Thank you Marcia and David and to all
the other friends and new friends who came out
tonight to see the show before Gill and I took it down.

Thanks to Josephine for the pizza and the watermelon,
and for helping us to take the show down after attending
both of our parties. Thanks to Jenny for the sweets at
the opening, and Audrey for the bubbly.

Thanks also to John from the Wychwood Barns
who was kind to our work when he moved lights
and furniture around to accommodate other groups
using the space.

It was a treat to meet so many new people from the
community I've lived in the whole time I've been
raising my family here. What a top notch
neighbourhood. Joe Mihevc, the local councillor
dropped in today, and complimented us on our
work.

And most of all thank you to Gill Cameron for
her beautiful art, great sense of humour and
unflagging kindness for the past week. And
thanks to Bruce Harbinson, Gill's husband for
his help and superb creative ideas and support.

And thank you for being there and allowing
me to share the experience with you.
