The museum

We go from room to room. Stopping to take in a painting of a young princess. Sadie is dressed in the costume to look like the princess, who grew up to be a queen, married to Louis VIII of France.
This is one of our interests, art. We share it with her as much as we can. No matter what is happening out there in the world, clouds of economic crisis and war, these bits of old paint and canvas from centuries ago lift us. The common thread, desire for beauty and love and comfort and mystery. It's all in these paintings, done well.
