Today Iva decided she wanted to go to church, so she and Tony and Zoki went down to Galveston to the Serbian Orthodox Church. Zoki said the priest had a new robe, and he could tell he felt inspired. Good stuff.
Then we decided to head into town to go to a museum I have been wanting to go to since I heard of it nearly 5 years ago. The Menil Collection is not too terribly big, but it has a great selection from Medieval pieces (even 2 from Macedonia!) to 20th century modern stuff. There was one particular temporary exhibit that none of us got--a bunch of lewd and intentionally shocking pieces that seemed old hat really--vaginas, boobs, dead people, etc. (One of the pieces was, in fact, titled "Dead Girl.") So unimaginative, really. Perhaps it was her obsession with death that was so incomprehensible to us--we who have been focusing nothing but on life.
So the best part is that we got to get out and do something to enjoy the day before she starts chemotherapy again tomorrow. It was a typical hot Houston day, but it was time well spent.
