Recently we went to the Pearl-Fincher Museum of Fine Arts in Spring Texas. a very nice little place. It operates on sponsors and donations. It was originally the Barbara Bush Library, but they built on and moved the library into a bigger area and the empty space became the Art Museum.

In Conroe that is. The 5th annual Chalk Up

long time. We (Johnny & I) got there a little after 9am and I didn’t finish
my square until 1:45. APG Jamiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09839103538244899718noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1853515162073325404.post-20910009773636435652016-03-11T10:50:00.000-06:002016-03-11T10:50:06.873-06:00TwitterArtExhibit
