I'm Excited for Tomorrow

I'm very excited for my morning/afternoon tomorrow! I'm going to brunch with my sister and Anne at the Comet Cafe and then we are heading to the Milwaukee Art Museum to check out the Street Seen exhibit ! I have many memories of the Comet Cafe from when I used to get my haircut down the street and ran to grab a great cup of coffee from that "artsy fartsy cafe". I've never actually eaten there and I hear great things. They are part of the slow food genre of eateries and you can't beat a great brunch on a Sunday. I'll give a review after tomorrow - www.thecometcafe.com.

I'm even more excited for Street Seen and the Art Museum! I went to the museum so many times growing up - but really haven't been for about 4 years or so. The Street Seen exhibit is a collection of photography from 1940-1959 reflecting the American way of life during those years. There is also a painting by Raphael that is rarely on loan from Italy to museums. My favorite painting is this piece that is on a gray background with an outline of a square in white and a white rectangle below it. I didn't know until a few years after adoring it that it's supposed to be a thumb. If you hold your thumb up and look the square is the nail and the small rectangle is the knuckle wrinkles! I'll find the artist's name tomorrow and post a link.

Until then,
