The libraries gift shop was closed but I was just assuming they would have something there when I went back. Some art publisher should get on that.Irene Gallohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15440976373621593153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30983073.post-1156207321372220372006-08-21T20:42:00.000-04:002006-08-21T20:42:00.000-04:00@____@ OMG.... damn i wish i can go see those.

Well ...Erin and I went to Boston for our honeymoon. Well it was one of the stops at least. We didn't get to see much but we did tour the historical section and saw the church.<BR/><BR/>She also has family up in the Birkshires. If it wasn't for the 8 month winters I would have no problems living up there. I guess I'm part Hobbit at heart.Anthony Schiavinohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11118112386664621169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30983073.post-1155819546784907692006-08-17T08:59:00.000-04:002006-08-17T08:59:00.000-04:00Irene, I love those Abbey murals and they have gre...Irene, I love those Abbey murals and they have great personal significance for me. My father grew up in the worst neighborhood in Boston and he used to take refuge in that library. One day he discovered the Abbey murals and was so awestruck by them that he resolved to become an artist. In an era when there was no television, I am sure thousands of kids were similarly inspired by the rich, magical enchantment of those images.<BR/><BR/>When I was ten, my father (by then a successful commercial artist in Chicago) took me on a pilgrimage back to Boston to show me the wonderful murals. I remember them well, but your blog makes me think it is time for a return trip. Thanks for posting them.David Apatoffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11293486149879229016noreply@blogger.com
