An early call today was made to the Sherri Reeve Gallery to find out if she was in her studio today and- as luck would have it, Sherri answered the phone because she was there all by herself & planned to be for the rest 
of the day! "OMG", she said ... "I'd love for you guys to come by!" This lady has more artistry in her little finger than I have in my entire repetoire, but what a thoughtful & friendly person she is. Fame does not seem to have changed this remarkably talented painter.
The Captain & his parents met her when she first started "peddling" her art at craft faires. SO seeing her grow & become so well known & popular is that much sweeter. We have purchased some of her pieces over the years, as well as gifted her calendars & mouse pads & adorable tshirts but today ..... I stood in front of a piece that wanted me more than any of those we have seen before. Seriously ..... I can stroll through her gallery for over an hour just looking at what she has created since our last
visit 11 months ago and, quite frankly- there is NOTHING that I don't like! Dozens of times, I am calling out to the Captain or he to me - with an "Oh, look at this one" but when I came across this piece ........... my mind was immediately trying to figure out how many hotdog or ramen meals we would have to eat to pull off using my budget for this. I could see it in my craft studio. It's me. I wanted me. The matting is purple. A beeeeeeauuuuuutiful shade of purple & it makes the colors pop. it energized me just standing before it. and .... it wanted me! and now ..... all the shipping info has been collected & with luck- it could be at home when we arrive. What a wonderful addition to our home (and my creativity) wooo-hooooo
so the plan for lunch wast o get to the Maui Plantation Restaurant before 2pm (last year we missed it by a half hour, not knowing what their schedule was. AND WE MADE IT in plenty of time - only to find that they have changed their schedule
and only serve to the public on Sun-Tues- except that there is a special event taking place this week & yatta, yatta, yatta sooooooo down the way we go to some place new, landing at the Kahili Golf Course. The food was not bad, the prices fair, but the view (and the company) made up for any shortc
omings!! it was lovely. and the day .... well it was made even more compete by the little trinket we found unexpectedly. An abalone surfboard decorated with a string of plumeria. The wave design of the silver chain is it's perfect compliment! AND ... a trinket was found for a certain person who shall remain nameless, that is playing auntie to my kitty kats & my plants & my pops!! SHE deserves something special too!!
