Anna and I, after picking up a few of the best cupcakes I’ve ever had, wandered out to Medicine Lake to visit the Art Shanty Projects.
We spent three hours out on the ice, and there was more yet we could have done. Photos tell a lot more than words. (We had a ton of fun playing the piano on ice, mailing post cards, going inside a camera, playing percussion while people sang karaoke, visiting the project’s radio station and a bunch of other stuff.)
Everyone we talked to there was extremely friendly and welcoming. If you haven’t been, check out their calendar. There’s a lot of fun happening, and they’re out there until February 23rd.

Lovely pix, btw.
