Father Joe’s House

00s Door Close

The “Open” letters are red and the “Close” letters are green.  The expected “D” for “Closed” is missing; it’s not just burned out — there is no room for it. The food pantry is either Open or Close.

This food pantry serves a lot of people in need. I’m one of the many volunteers here, and so I asked about the sign. The manager had ordered the sign on the internet and this is how it arrived.

Thursday is for Doors over at Norm 2.0.

Tennis Balls on the Doorstep

I really liked the contrast between the reddish door and the yellow tennis balls.

Door and Tennis Balls at Newks

I was on a field assignment (a.k.a. an art quilt class) recently at the John Newcombe Tennis Ranch in New Braunfels, Texas. While other people were wielding their rackets on the tennis courts, my classmates and I were inside the conference center studying the theory of color and design. What I was doing inside seemed much harder than what they were doing outside. My idea is that if I take enough classes, eventually I’ll learn something. (That’s my story and I’m sticking to it. I’m already signed up for three art quilt classes next year.)
