Valentine's Day at the GoggleWorks

The crowd at GoggleWorks yesterday was surprisingly large, and a number of the visitors who stopped by the studio were first-timers. Everyone seemed to be delighted to be out of the house after the siege of snow we had last week. It was refreshing to see parents and children enjoying the day together. It's interesting to me that so often folks stop by and tell us a snippet of story about themselves. We had several of those. Fascinating.

In addition, a student from my class spent a couple of hours holding a conference with Mickey and me. He is writing a memoir about growing up in Sierra Leone, and it's compelling. He's courageous and talented, and his story is filled with life lessons. He ended his session by giving us a recipe for peanut butter soup!

Hooray for all the signs of the day, especially the red ties, dresses, scarves, jackets, etc., that were visible signs of joy!
