Time in Toledo

Today we visited the Toledo Art Museum.  Since my grandparents live in Maumee, a suburb of Toledo, we have been here several times in the past.  Therefore, we chose to just visit a few of the special exhibits that we had not seen before.  There was an exhibit honoring 50 years of glassblowing in the Toledo area, an exhibit of a painter demonstrating 5 stages of his artistic career, and a photography exhibit that explored reflection and refraction of light.  They were interesting, and it was nice to spend time with my grandparents and family, but I also was reminded how differently I appreciate museums than some other members of my family.  Rita and I (and sometimes Daniel), would stroll through the exhibit and then find a seat and just chat in whispers while we waited for everyone else to finish.  To me, that was far more enjoyable than the exhibits themselves.  But maybe I'm just weird.  Doesn't matter.  What does matter is the time spent with people I love, and whom I'm thankful to visit since I won't see many of them again until Christmas.
