I've always heard that a trip to the Galapagos Islands (off the coast of Ecuador) should be on your bucket list. Well, in November I got to find out why that is. I'm only sorry I didn't find out sooner. I would do this trip over and over and over for the rest of my days…if only I had the cash.

Parts of June and July found me (and my little dog, Bug) in Orient, NY on the North Shore of Long Island. My brother, Charles, has a home there and my sister, Frieda, is the 2012/13 artist-in-resident at the William Steeple Davis House. We had beautiful weather and my sister taught me a new art technique with pigmented glue, paper, and pastel. We had a veritable "art spa" as we created healthy veggie and/or fruit salads and talked about art.
I was called back to Providence suddenly when I received word that my Mother-In-Law passed away. The Woonsocket Call ran a big story on her "Feisty Fighter Mourned" "Phyllis H. Thomas dead at age 93" "…a rare breed — a doctor's wife who became a social activist instead of a socialite." She had been in poor health for the past several years, but a fall and a broken pelvis sent her to hospital and she died of sepsis a few weeks after her fall. We're gonna miss her.
Phyllis on her 80th birthday.
