There's little glory in clean up, and it's a loud thump when, post-adrenalin, you hit the ground after the high. So far, so good. It's Monday and we've had only 'incidents'. Here's Danna, in front of one of the pieces of permanent artwork from the Turin paintings (The Charm of Cardinal Pacca) at The Shaw, just before we left Sunday. She and Sandra talked until their tongues were fat about the artwork, the artist, the story of it all. 
And here's Gord, signing the backs of the artwork we sold, prior to leaving for Toronto. 
And here's The IceWine Festival quartet, plus Gord, Sunday afternoon at The Shaw.
This just prior to my posing with Irish Hockey Team player,Cian MacNeill.
Then, on the way home Sandra called: there was a couple who wanted to buy three prints. Great news, but Gord sort of mumbled, "I didn't sign them"!!! So, then we had a bit of an incident, because it's not the first time he's left artwork behind, unsigned. We solved it, after the expected disappointement, by resolving to return to Niagara on the Lake, and sign them, whether or not they had been wrapped and boxed.
Saturday night he signed quite a few art books (the story of the Turin installation) after an impassioned speech at the Inniskillin Classic Dinner at the winery. A lovely affair (where we were guests of honour) with six entrees and wine pairings - the wine especially was wonderful, (I think I had too much, i.e. all my photos were blurry); the glasses were not full, but they kept arriving.
Back in Toronto, we met with JC and crew, to hand off the car for the vital Take Down/Strike in Niagara on the Lake. Erik & Jaz stayed behind for some needed R & R (for those of you who are not military it means Rest & Relaxation) and today we slept in. On the way to breakfast I realized we had a request for an interview on the Weather Network - but hadn't heard back from Grant. We were just sorting through some of the blurred events of the past week.
1,000 people per hour were going through the exhibit on Nathan Phillips Square. Al Burns captured this in the first hour.
Others skated on the rink painting.
Paddy Parr sent more photos. She salvaged some pieces from the exhibit at The Shaw and put them in front of her house.
Our friend and photographer, Al Burns, emailed with Before and After shots. Tomorrow. It's dark already, Jaz and Erik will meet for dinner in a couple minute
