Mother's Day

Mom passed away 19 years ago. My memories of her are still there but it seems time has made some of the details fade away.

Lewis Army Museum - Joint Base Lewis McChord

The Tacoma Urban Sketchers made a visit to the Lewis Army Museum at Joint Base Lewis McChord. So many things to draw...Though Mother Nature didn't rain on us, it was a bit cold. I'm looking forward to coming back in warmer months.

This is a great museum that many of us see from I-5 but may not have stopped to visit, I recommend you put it on your list of unique things to do when company comes to town.
