Just shy of 1 year ago (by 5 days), we left NC in our car for our new home in Roseville, CA to be closer to our son and his family. It's astonishing that only now I'm getting out and about, learning this new area. That's thanks to new friends who have so kindly taken me on field trips!!
I'm still very anxious and dread driving here where speed limits mean nothing, so many discourteous drivers, & tail gating is the norm. This is THE MOST confusing road systems EVER, made more difficult by all the negatives I mentioned above and the extreme number of cars on the road.
However, I had a fun day visiting the old town section of Folsom, CA with its charming variety of architecture, lots of restaurants and shops. Lakes, rivers, and rolling hills distinguish it from the surrounding flat nearby areas. Intel is the biggest employer. The maximum-security prison gained international fame thanks to Johnny Cash's legendary performance there in 1968. The “Folsom Prison Blues” concert is considered one of the greatest live albums in music history, forever linking the city to the “Man in Black.”
A reason for this visit is to continue my quest to find a gallery for my work. So far all prospective opportunities are too far away to be sensible options, plus wall space necessary art quilts is so minimal it makes no financial sense. So for now, I will keep having my work available via my blog, Facebook and Instagram posts. Thank you to all who have supported me....it means a lot!!
